marathon next month (NYC). Her goal is simply to finish. (She actually ran against Molly once or twice in HS cross-country)
She's Got a Lot on Her Plate to Deal With.

According to the article, "...As she’s told Runner’s World since, the victories came despite ongoing struggles with an eating disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADHD."

I remember that eating disorder first came up during/after her last year at Notre Dame, which - if memory serves -- is partially the reason she ended up living in Boston with her sister, where her rise in the marathon started.

Wish her the best of everything on her mental (and physical) health challenges and all the luck in preparing for the trials.
