Running and so much more with Mirna Valerio

Today’s guest is runner Mirna Valerio.

We talk about her start in running. Mirna goes way back to when she first really discovered her love for fitness. Then she shares how she rediscovered running as an adult and began to move from 5ks to ultrarunning.

Did you know that Mirna was a singer … she sings for us just a teeny bit.

We talk about blogging because blogging was a part of Mirna’s journey. 

The original blog http://fatgirlrunning-fatrunner.blogspot.com/ Where you can find Mirna online today https://themirnavator.com/ 

 

Mirna shares what it means to be one of the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year winners.

MIrna leads a vibrant FaceBook group that goes by the name of her original blog Fatgirlrunning we talk about how that came about and how she keeps it positive and productive.

We talk about diversity, equity and inclusion within running and endurance sports. This is something that Mirna does not only in her own running communities but also in her corporate work experience. 

This is a wonderful conversation. Thank you Mirna Valerio for being a guest on the Mile after Mile Podcast
