Today I bring to you my interview with maybe one of my new best friends, Myrna Valerio.

This woman's energy is so contagious.

Her nickname is The Mernivator.

How do you not get fired up to hear about someone that's named

the Mernivator? She's a former educator, a coach, a runner, not only just a runner, a marathoner,

an ultramarathoner. She's an author. Her book is called A Beautiful Work in Progress, and she's

famous for her blog, Fat Girl Running. We covered all, but I think my favorite

thing about this woman is that she's living her life in the best way possible on her terms

and trying every day to build herself up and all of us around her. So let's get after it.

All right, Myrna, I am so excited to have you on C. Talley Run.

I met you at the L.A. Marathon a few weeks ago.

And real quick, before we hit record, I said, I feel like I've met a new best friend.

So thanks for coming on the show.

Well, thank you for having me.
