Show Notes

The ECT Pod is back and better than ever after a longer than expected Eli-had-room-for-nothing-in-his-life-outside-of-planning-the-Twin-Cities-Marathon-and-then-a-new-Turkey-Trot enforced hiatus! And the first episode after our break is a doozy--an exit interview with outgoing Twin Cities In Motion Executive Director Virginia Brophy Achman (who also happens to be Eli's boss).

In her almost quarter-century in the industry, Virginia has witnessed a lot of "beginnings"--the beginning of Running USA, the founding of NCS4's marathon forum, the beginning of Twin Cities In Motion and other similar events becoming fully-fledged professionally staffed organizations--and the guys ask her about those and learn a lot about the origins of some industry institutions. They also ask Virginia about her time at TCM--the biggest changes she's seen, her biggest accomplishments, and what she hopes for for the future--and of course Tony can't help but ask her what it was like having Eli working for her.

On behalf of so many in the running industry to whom Virginia has provided mentorship, leadership, and guidance over the past twenty-three years, the guys would like to say a heartfelt "thank you" to Virginia for coming on the pod. We think you'll all really like this one.
