On the faculty at UCLA since 1987, social welfare associate professor Alfreda Iglehart has circled the globe as a marathoner, completing runs in Beijing, Bangkok and Iceland. Rio de Janeiro is where she will be this year. She started running as a University of Michigan graduate student who, after one autumn of too many visits to cider mills for donuts and cider, found that her "weight surpassed my I.Q.".
