"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.

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.

Gosh, I somehow really needed to read exactly this this morning. Thank you. It's perfect.
