Summary:

At a relatively late age MIMI ANDERSON became an ultra-marathon athlete, breaking world records, defying all expectations about what a woman can do. She ran to gain control of her anorexia and to reclaim a powerful self-image. NORMA BASTIDAS also wanted to regain control of her body and her life after abuse and trafficking. Inspired by Mimi, Norma became a world-class ultra-marathon athlete, too, sharing 's Mimi's belief that age is no barrier to healing, health and power. In this male-dominated sport, these mighty women like to wear pink. As Mimi says, "I'm a girl and I'm coming." Take a listen -- it's never too late.
