Rebecca, wow what a great story. I remember you from high school. You always ran with determination and strength. I was just checking the Freihofer’s race results for this year and saw that you where the first American. I remembered your name. I saw you race a few times in college too. I am just starting back running again after having 2 children. You have inspired me, I know I have never run to my full potential. I went to Bromfield high school and ran at the University of Maine. It is so great to see a fellow New Englander running so well.
