Zelma Garza Salinas, a 24-year-old software engineer from San Francisco, shares her running journey from weight loss to stress relief. Despite facing initial challenges, she managed to improve her running performance and regain her confidence. However, in 2018, she was diagnosed with insulin resistance, which further motivated her to continue running.
Name: Zelma Garza Salinas Age: 24 Hometown: San Francisco, California Occupation: Software Engineer Time Running: 12 years off and on, but consistently the last three years Reason for Running: I started running to lose weight, but now I run to take a breath from the stress of life. I have fun singing and dancing when I run. I started running during my freshman year of high school, during the summer of 2014. I was overweight, and I thought only thin girls deserved love.
Who doesn’t want to be loved? So I joined my high school’s cross country team as an “extra.” At first, running was humiliating, especially in front of others. I was dead last every time. But after a year of training, I shaved almost five minutes off my two-mile time. I was running fast. My teammates asked me, “how did you do it?” My classmates didn’t recognize me in the cafeteria. I poked my quads going up the stairs more times a day than I’d like to admit. I was on top of the world. I felt strong. Then in 2018, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance, and my weight peaked at 191 pound
