Ep 16 Bailey Quinn, about Running Slow, Being a Plus Size Athlete, Having Fun and Crushing Goals
Update: 2023-01-13
Description
Bailey Quinn, a 29-year-old endurance athlete from Florida, finished the NYC Marathon in 9 hours and 19 minutes and was the happiest person on planet earth.
She wore a rainbow tutu and ran for a charity called Team Kids and a video of Bailey doing the marathon went viral around the globe. For a couple of weeks she was the talk of the day on social media.
I was intrigued by her grittiness and enthusiasm and wanted to get to know her better, so I invited her for this podcast. And she said yes!! 😃
What we talk about:
- Doing something Big and set Huge Goals
- Being Afraid of Trying (me) vs Giving Yourself Permission to Fail (Bailey)
- Being a Plus Size Athlete & Back of the Pack Runner
- The Charity she ran for (Team Kids)
- Her Injuries and Addison's Disease
- Her Professional and Athletic Goals for the Future
The swimmer she mentions is Sara Thomas (English Channel crosser and breast cancer survivor).
Some powerful quotes:
- "The ultimate failure is never trying."
- "People are angry when you are not ashamed of what they were taught to be embarrassed of. I'm free, I'm happy."
Huge Thank You to Bailey Quinn for sharing her inspiring story with me. 😌
