“Running changed my life entirely. I never imagined reaching this place.” says Mira, now a record-breaking, professional, trail runner. Mira was raised in a remote village in eastern Nepal, in the shadow of Mount Everest. Her childhood days were tough. “Life was difficult and monotonous in my village,” describes Mira. “Every day was the same; fetching water, grazing cattle and going to school, not knowing how education would help us in the future.” Mira left school at age 12, to help earn money for the family. Alongside her mother, she carried heavy sacks of rice up and down the mountain trails to sell at the market. Little did she know then how the half hour run to school and the days spent carrying rice on her back would serve her later in life.
