We met by chance at our first Running Club meet at USF. Neither of us was too sure about going but ended up joining a small group of runners that night. We met by the gym and introduced ourselves before going on a three-mile loop around campus. All during the run, Conrad stayed behind with me (I was the only female in the group) and made sure I did not get too far behind. Afterward, we started talking and learned we had a lot in common. We both grew up thousands of miles apart (Conrad in Uruguay and me in Florida) but we both lived and grew up on farmland, love alternative music, travel, and food. At the time, I was studying for my Bachelors in Psychology and Conrad was working towards his second Bachelors in Accounting. We never returned to the running club after that night but started running together, "studying," and being inseparable.
