Samantha Stokes is a graduate student at Columbia Journalism School studying investigative reporting, but she's also a runner living in NYC. She'll be working on the CITIUS weekly newsletter as she trains for the NYC Half and attempts to graduate this spring. In her past life, Sam was a slow miler and a 100-meter hurdler in Iowa, and she went to the University of Missouri (where she was not good enough to make the track team). Send her a tweet to chat about how incredible American women's distance running is right now, or offer advice on the best public NYC restrooms to utilize on a long run.
