BORN TO RUN:
“This is Maria Salomé. She is pictured here on her way to winning in the women’s division of the 10K event in connection with the 2012 marathon sponsored by Oxxo, the big convenience store chain.
Maria Salomé is a woman from a group of reclusive indigenous people called the Tarahumaras who live in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua. They shy away from contact with the outside world and remain for the most part isolated there. However, they are legendary long distance runners and have been doing this for centuries.”
She ran without running shoes, without proper clothing and with her hair loose... She competed only with a great condition and mainly a big heart.. and with pride to their land, chihuahua and all Mexico!... good for her!
