Nope, no typo. She walks marathons, half-marathons, 10K's and 5K's.
However you look at it, quite an achievement. I met her in 2001 at a
racewalking clinic I attended taught by Dave McGovern of the U.S. National
Racewalking Team. She was the subject of a feature article in the Health &
Fitness section of last Monday's newspaper.

She's planning on tackling the wall next, but says she keeps having images
of her butt up there.
> Hm... Are they actually fat?
I don't know. Some do look a little chubbed, but then again it's
photographs and not the person I'm actually seeing. And body types/styles
are, in a word, genetically variable. None that I've seen, though, are what
I would describe as "ripped" in the manner that we usually think of.
