Personal:

I am 22, French, and a psych major at the U. I plan on getting a PhD in counseling psych after that. I lived 17 years in France, 1 in mexico, and 5 in the US.

I actually smoked for 3 years and the first time I really trained for a race was for the SLC marathon in 2011; at the time I knew nothing about running, I had shoes too small for me, had never run more than 16mi, and got injured a month before.... my race was miserable, but I realized how strong I could be. I have been serious about running and training since March 2012

Fun fact: I cannot eat prior to a race because I am ALWAYS gagging in the last 0.6/0.5mi... Not sure if that is normal
