Summary

When it comes to women who are changing the way we think remarkable athletes should look like, Mirna Valerio comes to mind. In a world where six-pack abs and Boston Marathon qualifying times are what many believe define a strong runner, Mirna is a force of nature.

From redefining what a strong athlete looks like to inspiring women and men to get active because of what it can do for your soul instead of chasing a number on a scale, just by being herself, Mirna is encouraging people who don’t look like stereotypical outdoorsmen and women or runners a reason to show up for themselves.
