Cheering on a Girl Named Becky (Part 1)By Stuart Gaffney and John Lewis—A lovely baby girl was born in small-town West Virginia about 15 years ago. Both Becky and her mom Heather recall that, growing up, Becky loved “girly” things. Indeed, Becky’s mom Heather ran competitively and as part of a team. Growing up, Becky accompanied Heather on her runs through parks and saw her mom’s running medals on the walls at home. That was lucky for Becky, because unfortunately it seems that Becky lacks the running abilities of her mom.
