I didn't know about you until I was researching Navajo runners. My mom used to run competitively and I have seen a few newspaper clippings of her. Mostof them are people that inspired her. She started training me to race when I was 8. Now I am 12. I love to run. My mom is doing cancer and diabetes research this summer funded by the Mayo Clinic. She is very proud of her work. She teaches me to eat healthier as well. When I watched this video, I was amazed and inspired. I think you are awsome!

Training in FLG is great! High altitude and great environment. I don't think the culture should limit you from accomplishing your goals though.
