CHRISTINE GARGAN
Hometown: Dallas, TX
Background: I started running in high school to get in shape for soccer and it's been a passion ever since. At the U.S. Naval Academy, I ran on the marathon club team from '06-'08. I've always enjoyed running as a balance to work and life, but appreciated racing/training even more once I moved to San Diego.
