I'm amazed by her. All her life, she has rejected playing sports and doing any sort of athletic activity. Three years ago, a group of friends convinced her to train for a marathon with them. She refused, but gave in at the last minute. She surpassed them all, and discovered a competitive drive in her that has turned her into a good runner. Plus, she's stubborn as heck

If I could run a 10 minute mile I would be happy... 8 minute miles for 26.2 is out of my comprehension
