“You don’t hear much about us, but we are out there, every race.”
Victoria Rennesund, Athena Triathlete (Article in St. Petersburg Times)
Author’s description :: Hi, I’m Sallie, and I’m The Plus Runner. And walker, hiker, biker, swimmer, triathlete, kayaker, soccer player. You get the idea! If you’ve landed here, it’s probably becuase, like me, you’re a Big Girl. Big is relative – you may be a size 12, or a 22. You may have never run a day in your life – or you may run every other day. But whatever the case, you’re here because you’re looking for something to help you become more active.
Author’s description :: This blog is about being a Fat-thlete and all the glorious challenges it presents. It’s about one girl’s quest to compete in her first 1/2 Iron-distance triathlon, Wildflower Long Course, on May 1, 2010 and then a FULL iron-distance (Vineman) on July 31st 2010. Behind every great plus-sized athlete is some combination of emotional eating, unfortunate genetics, too many happy hours, and a crappy desk job. Welcome to my world. :)
Author’s description :: I started this blog to document my Ironman Couer d’Alene 2007 training experiences. I finished. It rocked. So I signed up for another one in Lake Placid 2008 and finished that in the pouring rain. About 13 hours of rain, and it rocked again. But I am more than just an athena ironman triathlete…
Author’s description :: This blog is about my journey as an asthmatic, hypothyroid, plus-sized endurance athlete. It’s occasionally interrupted with things that have nothing to do with that or whining about my weight and horrible eating habits. If you get nothing else here, I hope you realize that most people can do more than they think they can (David Horton).
