A beautiful work in progress : a memoir / Mirna Valerio. by Valerio, Mirna. Grand Harbor Press, c2017. Call #: 796.42092 V164b Subjects Valerio, Mirna.   Athletes, Black -- Biography.   Women runners -- Biography.   Women athletes -- Biography.   Women runners -- United States.   Women athletes -- United States -- Biography.   Long-distance running. ISBN:  9781503943391 (pbk.) Description:  303 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Mirna Valerio, a native of Brooklyn, New York, is a Spanish teacher, diversity practitioner, cross-country coach, ultrarunner, OCR enthusiast, and blogger. Valerio’s blogs about all things running appear at Fat Girl Running and in Women’s Running Magazine. Her story was featured in the Wall Street Journal and Runner’s World and on NBC Nightly News. Valerio is a global ambassador for Merrell, an ambassador for Skirt Sports, and an athlete for Swiftwick. She is married to Cito Nikiema, and together they have a basketball-loving teenage son, Rashid. She loves being in nature and frequently runs trails in the North Georgia mountains. Summary:  "Mirna Valerio has tied on her running shoes all across the country, from the dusty back roads of central New Jersey, to the busy Route 222 corridor in Pennsylvania, to the sweltering deserts of Arizona. 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."--From publisher.
