When someone meets her on the trail, they might be surprised to see she doesn't quite fit the typical image of a long-distance runner. She's neither skinny nor white, and she's here to show just how misguided these stereotypes can be. In this prejudice-busting, body-positive memoir told with raw honesty, an adventurous spirit, and a sharp sense of humor, Valerio takes listeners along on her journey from first-time racer to ultramarathoner and proves that anyone can become a successful athlete. 600 10 $a Valerio, Mirna. 650 0 $a Body image. 650 0 $a Women runners $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women athletes $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women runners $z United States. 650 0 $a Women athletes $z United States. 650 0 $a Long-distance running. 941 $a 2 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055654.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180403015248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C7E43D5A370411E887D7D95B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
