1. Playing OutsideMirna Valerio s Instagram pics make one thing clear: This woman loves the outdoors. The Montpelier-based athlete and writer is pictured jogging on a snowy trail, fatbiking in the woods and soaking up sunshine in a field. Valerio, the subject of an August 2020 cover story in
Seven Days, has achieved national recognition as an ultramarathoner (someone who runs distances of more than 26.2 miles), creator of the blog Fat Girl Running and author of the 2017 memoir
A Beautiful Work in Progress. The Green Mountain Club hosts Valerio for the virtual talk Awe, Community and the Outdoors: A Perfect Trifecta, on Thursday, January 7, at 7 p.m. as part of its annual James P. Taylor Outdoor Adventure Speaker Series.
