This is the story of a music teacher who was killing it — at work, raising a family, and building a life. What Mirna Valerio didn't know though, was that in the process she was killing herself. Health was not part of her equation until a heart scare when doctors told her to re-prioritise her day or risk everything. This moment sparked a health transformation in Mirna, which culminated in her taking on an ultramarathon and becoming a sponsored athlete as 'The Mirnavator'. She documented the whole journey with a blog called fatgirlrunning and has a lot to say about her experience running as a larger-bodied woman.
