"She's not just someone who enjoys it, but when she doesn't do it, she misses it and complains about it all the time," said Mara Behar, a third-year communication studies pre-business economics student, and Wood's best friend.

Wood sees running as more than just her passion – she said it's an escape for her.

"I want to run forever and ever. I want to run until I'm crippled and can't, and even then, I want to run."
