"I ran my first ultra when I was 12." That blows my mind! Like many people, I've read about the Rarámuri people in Born to Run, but there wasn't much about women or resistance in that book. Thanks for sharing another fascinating window into lives us Midwesterners don't hear enough about.
Yes, Chávez talked about Born to Run in our interview. The author of that book used the colonizer name Tauhamara and framed the Rarámuri as ultra runners. He didn't focus on women or resistance.
Wow. I have recently taken up running seriously. I love the fact that this story is about Raramuri. It's like watching two separate worlds intersect for a brief moment. Christopher Mcdougall talks about running for joy, which is what I am trying to frame my running as.
I've returned to running in the pandemic (after running in college). Helps me work through stress & writing ideas. I love thinking of running as resistance, especially since it is free and I can do it almost anywhere.

Gosh, I somehow really needed to read exactly this this morning. Thank you. It's perfect.
Glad it reached you when you needed it!
