Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:06,610
Juno, Celeste.
2
00:00:07,710 --> 00:00:09,040
Come on girls...
3
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:19,610
There'll be hot
chocolate then?
4
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:21,670
Yep, that's why it's called
hot chocolate, then?
5
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:23,070
Yep, that's one reason.
6
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:24,540
January?
7
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:25,610
In January.
8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,540
Ooh, I wish I was...
9
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:29,670
There is this, this energy
inside that needs to get out.
10
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:33,510
This kind of throbbing
intensity that just needs to
11
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:34,740
find expression.
12
00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:45,040
(Sound of running
through the woods)
13
00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:46,410
Running is boring and
14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,140
painful and lonely sometimes,
but every now and then you get
15
00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:55,110
these breakthroughs, and you
lose yourself in the forest
16
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:57,310
and in the experience.
17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,270
And, in those
moments, I'm, I'm gone.
18
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:02,670
My body is just
running itself.
19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,740
And, that is what happened
when I won the race.
20
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:11,070
I am an average runner who
just tries just really hard,
21
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:14,310
but I was never in kind of
national caliber runner until
22
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:16,640
I ran the Copper Canyon Ultra.
23
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:29,070
The whole way I am
running beside
24
00:01:29,110 --> 00:01:31,140
virtually barefoot runners.
25
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:34,170
Here I am in my
Nike's and socks,
26
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:36,540
and they are wearing nothing
but tire treads strapped to
27
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:37,740
their feet with goat leather.
28
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:40,310
So, it didn't really even seem
like I was running against
29
00:01:40,340 --> 00:01:41,110
them anyway.
30
00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:42,510
It felt like two
different races,
31
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:44,740
and somehow,
I felt something take,
32
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:48,780
take over, and I surged
forward to the front of the
33
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:51,540
pack, and ended up winning
that race with mixed emotions.
34
00:01:55,110 --> 00:01:58,210
Christopher McDougall actually
contacted me a few weeks before
35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
I went down to the canyons and
sent me a copy of the book.
36
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:05,240
That book became popular
the year I won the Ultra.
37
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:08,140
Winning that race suddenly
put me on a national stage
38
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:09,610
that I had never been on before.
39
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:12,540
I was giving interviews to
ESPN and talking to national
40
00:02:12,570 --> 00:02:15,410
magazines, and I felt totally
out of my league and not
41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,780
worthy, but that one
day, for one race,
42
00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:21,570
everything had come together
for me at just the right time,
43
00:02:21,610 --> 00:02:23,710
and suddenly I was a
spokesperson for the
44
00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:25,780
Tarahumara and the race.
45
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:29,270
It forced me to re-evaluate
a lot of things.
46
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,610
We bought this land
and started putting
47
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:52,670
the infrastructure in.
48
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:54,310
We did not know what
the hell we were doing.
49
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:58,540
I read everything I could, and
continued going down to visit
50
00:02:58,570 --> 00:03:01,740
the Tarahumara to learn
how they farmed and how they
51
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:06,610
lived, and slowly built this
farm to model the Tarahumara
52
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,370
rancho, using very
minimal equipment,
53
00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:12,170
try to keep it as simple and
as close to the ground as the
54
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:13,780
Tarahumara do.
55
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:23,370
(Music, sound of potatoes
falling into box)
56
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:25,510
After that race, it changed me
57
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:29,210
into becoming more of a
Tarahumara-like person.
58
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,610
I can never even come close to
being what they are but it is
59
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,570
something that I
started aspiring to be.
60
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:45,570
(Music-end of
Introduction of movie)
61
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,270
Okay, we have to leave
in 10 minutes, ok?
62
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:10,810
Okay, you have to eat.
63
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,110
Don't touch the computer
with sticky hands, ok?
64
00:05:23,470 --> 00:05:24,440
He has to go to work...
65
00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:25,570
he actually has to
go to work today,
66
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:27,670
like he has to physically
be in the office.
67
00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:29,470
Will just does not do
mornings very well.
68
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:32,540
He is like a
farmer/runner/disciplined guy
69
00:05:32,570 --> 00:05:34,240
that just doesn't do mornings.
70
00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:35,740
Come on in kitties.
71
00:05:35,780 --> 00:05:38,040
River come on,
please cooperate.
72
00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:40,780
Will you help me up?
73
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:42,370
Yeah Foot...
74
00:05:42,470 --> 00:05:44,070
...with your foot, .
75
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:46,540
I want I want you to do is, I
want you to get your stuffed
76
00:05:46,570 --> 00:05:48,040
animals
.
77
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:50,370
Listen to me, stuffed
animals and your shoes on,
78
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:52,040
ok let's do it.
79
00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:53,810
Come on.
80
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:58,510
One minute is 82
seconds Oh, yeah.
81
00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:03,370
It looks like we are going to
be gone for like a week by the
82
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:05,340
amount of stuff we
carry out to the car.
83
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:11,210
Masie, come on,
Masie, Masie, come on
84
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:40,810
Hey.
85
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,310
How are you doing?
86
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:44,140
What's going on today?
87
00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:46,140
Are you having any symptoms?
88
00:06:46,170 --> 00:06:46,610
Chest pain?
89
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,270
Shortness of breath?
90
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,240
It's still ticking.
91
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:18,240
(Music-sounds of Will
doing chores)
92
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:20,370
Alright, come on guys.
93
00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:32,670
(Sounds of Will
doing pull ups)
94
00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:37,140
(Sounds of Will milking
95
00:07:37,170 --> 00:07:55,640
the goats-chickens clucking,
farm sounds)
96
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:36,240
Ola amigo?
97
00:08:36,540 --> 00:08:37,510
Hey Will.
98
00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:40,310
Will is editor and chief of
Blue Ridge Outdoors magazine.
99
00:08:40,370 --> 00:08:42,310
He writes some features
and things like that for the
100
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:44,310
magazine as well, but
mostly oversees everything
101
00:08:44,340 --> 00:08:45,510
editorially that we do.
102
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:48,710
Will works some from home,
since he lives a pretty good
103
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:50,740
bit outside of town but
typically any day that he is
104
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,310
here, at some point
during the day
105
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:54,410
those workouts will commence.
106
00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:16,640
A lot of forceful exertions
happening in there.
107
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:25,110
We have learned that when
people call or come in,
108
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:28,570
he is sort of in that space,
and he will get back to them
109
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:35,640
What did you find,
another lollipop?
110
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,570
Yeah Ok, you can't
have it right now.
111
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:40,140
What about when
daddy comes home No.
112
00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:43,470
Will would have
made a very good monk,
113
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,310
like I think he really reveals
in like a little bit of
114
00:10:46,340 --> 00:10:48,140
self-flagellation.
115
00:10:48,210 --> 00:10:49,740
You know, like he
wants to suffer.
116
00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:52,170
Like suffering makes him feel
better about himself because
117
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:54,170
he knows that the rest of
the world is suffering,
118
00:10:54,210 --> 00:10:56,340
and that if he is
not suffering also,
119
00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:57,780
then he is forgetting.
120
00:10:58,370 --> 00:11:00,610
He has been gone some where
he has had to do long runs,
121
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,240
but I think I am
just used to it,
122
00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:05,240
and I try to just have some
sort of activity planned,
123
00:11:05,270 --> 00:11:09,340
so I have something
to do with River.
124
00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:12,310
I think it's meant, I
mean, I think his family has a
125
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:14,810
pre-disposition
towards depression, anxiety,
126
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,710
and sometimes people
just need to take medicine,
127
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:19,410
but you can also exercise.
So, I think his brain needs it,
128
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,240
like I think this is
what keeps him well.
129
00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:34,110
Get over here
Right Dollar bill,
130
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:38,340
one dollar bill Put
it up on the bar.
131
00:11:38,370 --> 00:11:39,740
One dollar bill.
132
00:11:39,780 --> 00:11:41,440
Can you put it up on the bar?
133
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:58,670
(truck driving away then
sounds from airport)
134
00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:02,040
Rarajipari. The Tarahumara don't
run point-to-point,
135
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:03,610
start to finish races.
136
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:06,710
For centuries, they
have run Rarajipari,
137
00:12:07,270 --> 00:12:09,110
an ancestral
ball kicking race.
138
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:23,670
Arnulfo and his clan travel
from Naranjito to the
139
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,740
canyon floor near
the Urique River.
140
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,610
(Music-sounds in the town,
voices calling, talking in
Spanish)
141
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,640
Slaughtering an ox,
142
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:34,570
is part of the pre-race
festivities that fuels them
143
00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:36,510
for the long run ahead.
144
00:12:37,710 --> 00:13:25,040
(Sounds of groaning ox and
music, people talking in
Spanish)
145
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,540
The wooden ball used is carved
from a sacred tree.
146
00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:40,110
(Sounds of wood
chopping and music)
147
00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:42,510
The women run their
own race, ariweta,
148
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:45,170
flinging a wooden
ring with sticks.
149
00:13:45,540 --> 00:14:08,140
(Music, Will speaking in
Spanish to Unidentified male)
150
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,510
I played soccer
for my whole life,
151
00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:12,110
I thought this would be easy.
152
00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:16,340
Not only does it hurt, but
this ball is unpredictable and
153
00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:18,780
you have to get underneath
it and lift it every time.
154
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,540
And, its, its wood!
155
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:31,670
(Music, background sounds of
people talking in Spanish)
156
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:49,570
(Speaking in Spanish with
music playing over dialogue)
157
00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:53,040
Korima is the central belief
of the Tarahumara culture.
158
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,310
It means giving selflessly,
without expectation of reward.
159
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:04,440
The Tarahumara, they
don't really practice,
160
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:06,540
you know they just walk
in the mountains
161
00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:09,470
but they never practice.
162
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:11,440
Last year was very close.
163
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:15,670
Arnulfo won, they beat us,
but we want to beat this time.
164
00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:18,670
The big star in our
team, Miguel Lara.
165
00:15:19,510 --> 00:15:21,040
He is a 20 year old boy
166
00:15:21,070 --> 00:15:24,040
who is the winner of
the Ultra Marathon.
167
00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:27,410
Most of my life of I've been
obsessed with Arnulfo and he
168
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,070
is synonymous with champions
among the Raramari,
169
00:15:30,110 --> 00:15:32,410
and he'll always be a legend
and Miguel is kind of the next
170
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,270
wave, perhaps
the next Arnulfo.
171
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:38,780
Terra sava misera.
172
00:15:38,810 --> 00:15:42,170
This race we have a
shaman or witch doctor,
173
00:15:42,210 --> 00:15:46,140
we gonna do a cleansing to
bless the runners to protect
174
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,240
them from the other team.
175
00:16:53,410 --> 00:16:59,140
(Sounds of water rushing,
176
00:16:59,170 --> 00:17:31,510
people speaking and
singing in Spanish)
177
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:34,110
This blouse is made
for someone about
178
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,640
five foot rather than six.
179
00:17:37,210 --> 00:17:39,040
I feel kind of
like an imposter
180
00:17:39,070 --> 00:17:43,240
but I will try to live up to it.
181
00:17:47,210 --> 00:17:50,170
Same questions Can you
tell us your name
182
00:17:50,210 --> 00:17:52,780
Will Harlan, El Chivo.
183
00:17:53,070 --> 00:17:59,240
El Chivo We know that you won
the Caballo Blanco marathon
184
00:17:59,270 --> 00:18:01,310
two years ago Three years ago.
185
00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:02,540
Three years ago.
186
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,610
What it means for you
to have won this race?
187
00:18:07,210 --> 00:18:10,110
It is the most meaningful
race of my life.
188
00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:15,140
No dying on the run.
189
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,640
If they die, they
are disqualified.
190
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:31,780
(Shouting and cheering
in Spanish)
191
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:32,780
They will run back and forth.
192
00:18:32,810 --> 00:18:36,040
The will do basically
a 3km loop
193
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:38,040
and they will do 20
of those loops.
194
00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:40,070
If any team gets lapped,
that's the end of the race.
195
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:41,570
I am going to be
running with them
196
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:43,510
but I am not going to
be kicking the ball.
197
00:18:49,410 --> 00:18:57,040
(Speaking Spanish background
shouting and music)
198
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:01,310
They give them Pinole,
199
00:19:01,370 --> 00:19:04,640
which is a drink that
they make out of corn.
200
00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:06,310
They give energy
to the runners.
201
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:23,140
(Background music and
shouting in Spanish)
202
00:19:23,170 --> 00:19:25,570
Batopilas runners remember
203
00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:27,440
how to run because
they are more traditional,
204
00:19:27,570 --> 00:19:28,670
so they know how
to run in a team.
205
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,310
They play more ball races.
206
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:33,370
The Urique runners were
relying on Miguel Lara,
207
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:34,410
their best runner.
208
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,540
There wasn't as much teamwork
209
00:19:35,570 --> 00:19:37,640
because they don't
run so much anymore.
210
00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:39,340
They don't practice
together, so it's a matter of
211
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:42,610
remembering how, and
hopefully with these races,
212
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,740
the people will re-realize
the whole goal united all as.
213
00:19:47,270 --> 00:20:01,340
(Background music
and people cheering)
214
00:20:01,370 --> 00:20:02,440
It is inpredictable.
215
00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:05,110
You never know what is going
to happen with a ball race.
216
00:20:14,370 --> 00:20:16,210
The Batopilas wanted to run like
217
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,640
a loop more just
for the fun of it.
218
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,610
No one in their huaraches could
ever do what they just did,
219
00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:30,810
and that was a
short Rarajipari.
220
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:37,040
I mean, that was the
most incredible athletic
221
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:38,780
performance I
have ever witnessed.
222
00:20:38,810 --> 00:20:42,110
I could smell and taste and
feel it maybe a little closer
223
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:44,040
but I did not do anything.
224
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:47,040
I switched into shoes about
two-thirds of the way through.
225
00:20:47,070 --> 00:20:50,170
I never kicked the
ball, and I am beat down.
226
00:20:50,210 --> 00:20:54,040
You can't understand for a
second how hard that is to
227
00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:57,270
kick a ball through
that loose rock,
228
00:20:57,310 --> 00:20:59,640
that's untoppable.
229
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:55,340
(Music and Background
talking
230
00:21:58,810 --> 00:22:08,810
(Sounds of people cheering and
kids shouting
231
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,780
He was 3 or 4 when he
really started playing things
232
00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:15,410
and wanted to be...he
always wanted to be best in
233
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,740
everything, all the time.
234
00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:19,410
He played Little
League Baseball,
235
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,140
football, soccer, he
wrestled in high school,
236
00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:30,040
(Sound from home moving
of Will wrestling)
237
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:31,470
He was really good in school.
238
00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:34,110
His reading level was
just so far beyond,
239
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:36,540
apparently the rest of
the kids in his grade,
240
00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:41,110
that they could not keep
him stimulated enough.
241
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:43,240
You know, either they had
to kind of dumb him down,
242
00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:46,510
to be in the same level as
the other kids so they kind of
243
00:22:46,540 --> 00:22:49,510
nicely suggested that we move
him to a public school where
244
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:50,810
they had a gifted program,
245
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,710
and they had the tax
dollars to support it.
246
00:22:52,740 --> 00:22:54,440
So, we did that, and
I am glad we did cuz
247
00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:55,740
he really flourished.
248
00:22:58,780 --> 00:23:00,470
I wasn't any big competitive
runner or anything but
249
00:23:00,510 --> 00:23:03,710
I just learned to start running
and jogging and so forth.
250
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:05,340
I can't remember how old
he was, but pretty young,
251
00:23:05,370 --> 00:23:07,810
but he wanted to go with
me and I said sure.
252
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:20,410
He kind of picked it
up from there and
253
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,170
saw how much fun it was and
before long he was bugging me
254
00:23:23,210 --> 00:23:24,670
every day, come on,
let's go running
255
00:23:32,670 --> 00:23:34,240
Will just sit in the
chair right there for me.
256
00:23:41,470 --> 00:23:42,610
110/64.
257
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,670
Fabulous.
258
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,170
Hey Will.
259
00:23:45,210 --> 00:23:46,610
Dr. Roberson.
260
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:48,780
I understand you
have a foot problem.
261
00:23:48,810 --> 00:23:50,810
This is the first bone
I have every broken.
262
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:52,640
I never had
anything like this.
263
00:23:53,710 --> 00:23:55,370
So, it is the
fifth metatarsal.
264
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:56,540
Yeah, yeah.
265
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,440
Yeah, I can see it
is swollen from here.
266
00:23:58,470 --> 00:24:00,140
Are all these other
little piggys are alright?
267
00:24:00,170 --> 00:24:06,470
Yeah, they are just
ugly Fourths are alright?
268
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:08,110
Yeah, that one is ok.
269
00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:10,670
A little tender.
270
00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:13,170
A little tender on
the fourth Yeah Yeah,
271
00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:16,440
that's a pretty good bony
callous you've got there.
272
00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:20,810
Yeah See, even
that little bit hurt?
273
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:21,670
Yeah, I mean I can feel it.
274
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:23,110
It is not like Not
like putting weight on it
275
00:24:23,140 --> 00:24:24,210
Excruciating but
it is definitely
276
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,310
You know it's just about
like any other kind of
277
00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:27,340
a bone fracture,
278
00:24:27,370 --> 00:24:29,240
it is going to take
4-6 weeks to heal.
279
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:32,440
Ahh, but you know most times
people have just a little
280
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:35,270
tinny crack, and you a lot of
times they can still walk in
281
00:24:35,310 --> 00:24:37,540
tennis shoes, and just not
run and not get on their toes,
282
00:24:37,570 --> 00:24:40,810
but it looks like
yours is worse than that.
283
00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:44,610
Shucks So
what is your plan?
284
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,810
More races?
285
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:50,210
Well, I was planning to go
to the Copper Canyon again.
286
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,810
I would say that one is out.
287
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,440
Yeah, I might go
to watch at least,
288
00:24:55,470 --> 00:24:56,110
but...
289
00:24:56,140 --> 00:24:57,340
Yeah, you could do that, but
I don't think you would run.
290
00:24:57,370 --> 00:25:00,170
I don't think you
would run, in fact,
291
00:25:00,210 --> 00:25:01,610
I don't think with
you'd be running,
292
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,810
you know you'll be
walking fine then,
293
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:04,540
I think.
294
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:06,210
But I don't think
you'd even jog by then,
295
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,110
as much reaction as
you've got there.
296
00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:24,740
(Street sounds, sound
inside gym
297
00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:29,440
I remember when he hurt his
leg in college and he couldn't
298
00:25:29,470 --> 00:25:33,070
run, he was
really upset about it.
299
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:34,740
But then, he started swimming
300
00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:37,670
and so now he is
a really good swimmer.
301
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:39,740
But he just had to
do that every day.
302
00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:42,210
Where there's a
Will there's a way.
303
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,610
I can't run so I have amped
up my routine of sit ups,
304
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,510
pushups,
pullups and planks,
305
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:51,370
and I am swimming
every other day, too.
306
00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:52,780
That is all I can
do to keep sane,
307
00:25:52,810 --> 00:25:55,740
and somewhat fit, while
wearing this goddammed boot.
308
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:57,810
He took his shirt off
so I thought maybe
309
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:58,470
he was going running.
310
00:25:58,510 --> 00:25:59,640
He said, naw, I've got to go
in the other room and do my
311
00:25:59,670 --> 00:26:02,570
pushups, and he was in there
doing his pushups and sit-ups
312
00:26:02,610 --> 00:26:03,810
and stuff for at
least an hour.
313
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,410
I mean, he goes
and goes and just,
314
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,640
I don't know, I don't even want
to ask him how many he is doing.
315
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,570
It has got to be tough because
all the physical activity and
316
00:26:10,610 --> 00:26:12,510
all the endorphins, and all
of a sudden you shut that off,
317
00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:15,410
it's almost like
withdrawal from a drug.
318
00:26:16,570 --> 00:26:20,470
For someone that has to do
athletics every day
319
00:26:20,510 --> 00:26:22,040
and you don't, you're crabby.
320
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:24,570
It's like if you didn't eat
breakfast or lunch you would
321
00:26:24,610 --> 00:26:26,070
feel a little
crabby but dinner time.
322
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:29,140
That's how, that's how he is.
323
00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:31,140
I'll lead the way
324
00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:32,640
A lot of conversations
we've had with him
325
00:26:32,670 --> 00:26:33,570
we've kind of
encouraged him,
326
00:26:33,610 --> 00:26:36,240
like you know, you can't
be doing this forever,
327
00:26:36,270 --> 00:26:38,270
taking off and going to
these things where you just,
328
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:40,170
you know, run
yourself in the ground.
329
00:26:40,210 --> 00:26:43,540
We're just afraid he
might really injure himself.
330
00:26:43,670 --> 00:26:46,370
What I want you to do is I
want you to drop that knee,
331
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,710
that left knee,
just like that...hmm,
332
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:50,210
and then back up.
333
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:52,540
She has been one of the top
female Ultra runners in
334
00:26:52,570 --> 00:26:54,310
United States for a long time.
335
00:26:55,710 --> 00:26:58,470
She has won so many big races
and national championships at
336
00:26:58,510 --> 00:27:01,240
just so many different
distances and now her forte is
337
00:27:01,270 --> 00:27:02,540
24-hour races.
338
00:27:02,570 --> 00:27:05,240
Her PR is just a
little over a 140 miles,
339
00:27:05,270 --> 00:27:08,710
which is, I think, top five
or six ever for north America.
340
00:27:08,740 --> 00:27:11,810
You think about the
things you do in 24 hours,
341
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,270
just going about
your daily business,
342
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:17,370
eating, sleeping, interacting
with people and to think about
343
00:27:17,410 --> 00:27:19,440
taking that entire
chunk of time
344
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:21,310
and doing one thing, running.
345
00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:24,570
It is hard to conceive of.
346
00:27:26,510 --> 00:27:29,140
I just kept feeling like
oh, I can manage this,
347
00:27:29,170 --> 00:27:29,810
it's not bad.
348
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,440
You know, enough ice.
349
00:27:31,470 --> 00:27:33,610
I am not a big
Ibuprofen taker,
350
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,410
so I really wasn't taking any
meds to mask it or anything.
351
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,540
But, I was just
feeling like, oh,
352
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:42,240
it will go away if
I stretch enough,
353
00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:45,780
and then it just reached a
point where just suddenly it
354
00:27:45,810 --> 00:27:50,810
went from being a maybe 4-5-6
on a pain scale to being
355
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,210
off the charts.
356
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,170
You know, 10+, so
where I couldn't work,
357
00:27:55,210 --> 00:27:56,810
couldn't do anything.
358
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,810
It was the only
thing on my mind.
359
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,610
I ended up having surgery.
360
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,810
This was my second back
surgery but I was surprised
361
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,740
after that, that I was able to
come back and do the 24- hour
362
00:28:07,780 --> 00:28:11,310
distances and I feel like
I kind of got away with
363
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,340
something last time.
364
00:28:12,370 --> 00:28:15,210
So I am trying to take a
different approach this time
365
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,670
around and sort of
think long-term health,
366
00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:21,570
long-term physical
comfort as a human being,
367
00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:25,740
not just as an athlete and
realizing that maybe it is
368
00:28:25,780 --> 00:28:29,340
time to move into
a different phase.
369
00:28:29,470 --> 00:28:32,240
Your head hurts really badly
You know if he wanted to race
370
00:28:32,270 --> 00:28:34,470
more and to put it out there
like some of the other guys,
371
00:28:34,510 --> 00:28:35,740
he is probably one of
the best in the country,
372
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:37,640
but he chooses not to be, and
that is part of what I like
373
00:28:37,670 --> 00:28:38,710
about Will.
374
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:43,370
A lot of people tend to look
at what Mark and I and Will do
375
00:28:43,410 --> 00:28:47,310
as obsessive and maybe
even an addiction of sorts,
376
00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:48,210
and maybe it is,
377
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,570
but there are certainly worse
addictions you can have.
378
00:28:50,610 --> 00:28:53,710
We usually sit down and talk
about like whose doing what
379
00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:56,240
this week and try to map
it out because we have a
380
00:28:56,270 --> 00:28:57,710
daughter, a
13-year old daughter.
381
00:28:57,740 --> 00:29:00,510
We both have full time jobs
and we have been running and
382
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:02,670
racing for so many years now
that we have gotten it down
383
00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:05,170
pretty good, but it is
a lot of pre-planning.
384
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,410
(Muffled talking Will and
River in bathroom)
385
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,670
So you'd come straight
back from the beach,
386
00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:24,740
get in the car
and drive to Missouri?
387
00:29:25,170 --> 00:29:28,340
No, come back from the beach
on Monday and so we would
388
00:29:28,370 --> 00:29:31,310
leave on Tuesday or
Wednesday, right...or...
389
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,670
We might as well fly.
390
00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:39,370
Exactly Also, I have down that
River's graduation is actually
391
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:41,240
Wednesday, May 22nd?
392
00:29:41,270 --> 00:29:43,570
It is, so I had it
right...are you sure?
393
00:29:43,610 --> 00:29:44,610
That is what I have
written down but let's...
394
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,170
I think you have
written it down wrong,
395
00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:48,670
because I checked the
website yesterday...
396
00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:50,040
It's the 22nd.
397
00:29:50,570 --> 00:29:51,610
Which means I took
off the wrong day,
398
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,780
and I'll have to take
off that day, too.
399
00:30:31,370 --> 00:30:33,670
My foot has kept me
from really training much.
400
00:30:33,710 --> 00:30:35,640
I've been getting on
the bike a little bit,
401
00:30:35,670 --> 00:30:38,810
doing my pushups and sit ups,
but I am definitely not in
402
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,610
shape to be running 50 miles.
403
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,610
(Sounds of the train
running on a track)
404
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,570
It takes some effort
to get down here.
405
00:30:48,670 --> 00:30:50,670
It is close but
it's so far away.
406
00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:53,740
That highway that brings
into the town of Urique,
407
00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:56,640
it was quite a,
quite a surprise.
408
00:30:56,670 --> 00:30:59,740
Urique is a nice little town
in the bottom of the canyon.
409
00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:03,510
Its economy is based on
favors and small businesses.
410
00:31:03,540 --> 00:31:05,540
People buy something
from somewhere where it is
411
00:31:05,570 --> 00:31:07,270
inexpensive and
they truck it here,
412
00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:08,710
and they sell it
for a few pesos more.
413
00:31:08,740 --> 00:31:12,740
It's pretty well to do
municipal due to mining and
414
00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:14,780
other natural resources.
415
00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:17,470
This little town
has gone from a dark,
416
00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:21,370
dusty, backwards,
sad, lonely place.
417
00:31:21,540 --> 00:31:23,140
And, each year a
little bit more color,
418
00:31:23,170 --> 00:31:25,780
a little bit more festivity,
a little bit more- some more
419
00:31:25,810 --> 00:31:31,170
runners were coming; and now
it's become an event that the
420
00:31:31,210 --> 00:31:34,210
entire town has
become part of.
421
00:31:38,470 --> 00:31:40,570
I think just about
every citizen of Urique
422
00:31:40,610 --> 00:31:42,270
is out in the
streets right know.
423
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:44,780
There is very few towns where
you can get nearly unanimous
424
00:31:44,810 --> 00:31:48,440
participation in an event, and
this is in a town that is at
425
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:51,170
the crossroads of
major drug trafficking,
426
00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:53,610
and the kids are playing in
the streets and shooting hoops
427
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,370
and staying out late
and playing music,
428
00:31:56,410 --> 00:31:59,210
even as trucks with
tinted windows drive by.
429
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,040
You know, its remarkably
a real community still.
430
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:10,570
(background noise
from the town)
431
00:32:10,610 --> 00:32:14,110
I always hated having to comb
your hair and style it.
432
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:15,540
It just seemed
like such a waste.
433
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,310
I had poufy hair,
it was really thick,
434
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:20,210
poufy, helmet hair as a kid.
435
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,740
I read a lot of
Buddhist stuff.
436
00:32:22,780 --> 00:32:24,470
The monks shave their heads.
437
00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:27,470
I don't want to be a monk,
I like sex too much but
438
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:29,570
it makes me less vain.
439
00:32:29,710 --> 00:32:30,810
If you are worried
about your hair,
440
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,410
you are worried about your
appearance and when I shaved
441
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,640
off my hair I stopped
caring about how I looked.
442
00:32:35,810 --> 00:32:43,570
(Local music and festivities,
443
00:32:43,610 --> 00:33:13,410
people shouting to
Will in Spanish)
444
00:33:19,170 --> 00:33:21,610
The race started with
the idea that I wanted to run
445
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,470
with the Raramari.
446
00:33:22,510 --> 00:33:23,270
I am kind of selfish.
447
00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:24,240
I wanted to run with them.
448
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:28,370
I'm a pretty good runner,
and I invited some Raramari to
449
00:33:28,410 --> 00:33:31,210
hike over to the town of
Urique with me where I bought
450
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,540
them a hotel in Urique,
I bought their meals,
451
00:33:34,570 --> 00:33:36,340
and we raced back.
452
00:33:36,780 --> 00:33:38,440
Manuel Luna won
those earlier races.
453
00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:41,740
He won by one minute
over second place,
454
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:43,510
Felipe Quimare,
another Quimare.
455
00:33:43,610 --> 00:33:46,670
Then, Arnulfo
started joining us.
456
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:48,370
Arnulfo started winning.
457
00:33:48,410 --> 00:33:52,070
Arnulfo won in 2004, 2005.
458
00:33:52,110 --> 00:33:56,110
In 2006 the most
renowned ultrarunner,
459
00:33:56,140 --> 00:33:58,210
in the world
probably, Scott Jurek,
460
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,540
El Vernado, "the deer",
came down to run with us and
461
00:34:00,570 --> 00:34:02,540
Arnulfo from the
bottom of the canyon,
462
00:34:02,570 --> 00:34:04,310
that very few people
have ever heard of,
463
00:34:04,340 --> 00:34:06,310
won over Scott Jurek.
464
00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:09,110
That race was the race
featured in the book "Born to
465
00:34:09,140 --> 00:34:10,570
Run" by Christopher McDougall.
466
00:34:10,610 --> 00:34:12,810
I read the book "Born to Run."
467
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,740
I think why not, I will come
here to visit in Mexico and
468
00:34:16,780 --> 00:34:21,210
then run with Caballo
Blanco, the 50 English miles.
469
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:24,470
I think the book really
presents some ideas and
470
00:34:24,510 --> 00:34:26,640
concepts that are
so approachable,
471
00:34:26,670 --> 00:34:28,410
that are so relatable.
472
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,780
Many, many people want to do
what the book talks about.
473
00:34:32,810 --> 00:34:36,370
Very influential book when it
comes to long distance running
474
00:34:36,410 --> 00:34:40,540
and then the advent of people
trying to do the barefoot thing.
475
00:34:40,670 --> 00:34:43,370
So, I always had a
lot of pain when I ran,
476
00:34:43,410 --> 00:34:45,810
and I read the
book "Born to Run."
477
00:34:46,110 --> 00:34:48,470
It changed everything for me.
478
00:34:48,610 --> 00:34:50,240
I started running differently,
479
00:34:50,270 --> 00:34:52,240
cause you have to when
you run barefoot.
480
00:34:52,270 --> 00:34:54,170
I just really wanted
to see for myself,
481
00:34:54,210 --> 00:34:57,210
what it was all about, and
really to be able to run with
482
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:02,310
Rar..ra..mari.
483
00:35:02,340 --> 00:35:04,040
I work for Microsoft fulltime.
484
00:35:04,070 --> 00:35:06,110
I found running to
be a good compliment,
485
00:35:06,140 --> 00:35:07,780
and so for me, I wanted to
come down here and meet other
486
00:35:07,810 --> 00:35:11,810
people and really hang out
with other people like me.
487
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:15,110
Some of these folks are
very wealthy entrepreneurs.
488
00:35:15,140 --> 00:35:17,310
Some come from big
running communities,
489
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:19,710
so It's great that
there is so much publicity,
490
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:22,710
and there is so much attention
down here because the Mexican
491
00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:25,640
government is forced
to value these people,
492
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:29,470
not as second class citizens,
but as legitimate Mexicans who
493
00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:31,780
have just as much right
to their ancestral land,
494
00:35:31,810 --> 00:35:35,740
and deserve food and rights,
just the same as anyone else.
495
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,170
We've got 500
runners showed up.
496
00:35:39,210 --> 00:35:40,270
A lot of people are
running for corn
497
00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:42,310
because it was a hard year.
498
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:45,240
Anybody who
finishes wins maize.
499
00:35:46,410 --> 00:36:06,210
(Cheers and whistles
from locals)
500
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,570
Well, we have a great
competitive race this year,
501
00:36:08,610 --> 00:36:10,740
between Will, Will
Harlan, El Chivo,
502
00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:13,570
winner of 2009,
Hiroki Ishikawa,
503
00:36:13,610 --> 00:36:16,570
"El Dragon de Hapone,"
who also ran in 2009.
504
00:36:16,610 --> 00:36:18,570
We have Herman Silva here.
505
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:22,540
The great former Olympian
of the Mexico Olympic Team,
506
00:36:22,570 --> 00:36:25,440
who won the New York Marathon
twice in the nineties.
507
00:36:25,470 --> 00:36:27,540
My guess is that
a foreign runner,
508
00:36:27,570 --> 00:36:29,240
probably a shoe
running wearer,
509
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:30,710
would have to have a
better opportunity
510
00:36:30,740 --> 00:36:31,780
of winning this race.
511
00:36:31,810 --> 00:36:38,610
Bill Harlan or something We
have lots of good Raramari.
512
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,340
I think they are born on the
sandals and they are running
513
00:36:42,370 --> 00:36:45,240
every day the mountain
up, the mountain down.
514
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,610
I have no idea
who is going to win but
515
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,370
the likelihood it is going to be
a gringo who has a haircut
516
00:36:58,410 --> 00:37:00,470
similar to mine, but it
is not going to be me.
517
00:37:00,610 --> 00:37:27,270
(Sounds of people
running and music)
518
00:37:27,310 --> 00:37:27,810
Doing good?
519
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,070
No,
520
00:37:29,110 --> 00:37:34,140
my foot hurts and it might
be just like a...
521
00:37:34,610 --> 00:37:37,610
Scott said it sounds like
plantar fasciitis
522
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:38,670
My name is Stephanie Gardner.
523
00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:41,040
I am from Salt
Lake City, Utah.
524
00:37:41,070 --> 00:37:44,040
I came down with my
boyfriend, Shawn Wood,
525
00:37:44,070 --> 00:37:44,710
who is also running.
526
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:47,440
I think he ran this race
last year but dropped out,
527
00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:49,410
so this year he is just
really hoping to finish.
528
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,070
So, I am helping in
any way that I can.
529
00:37:51,110 --> 00:37:52,470
We have a group
of friends here,
530
00:37:52,510 --> 00:37:53,440
there's about eight of us.
531
00:37:53,470 --> 00:37:55,670
So, tried to like make
them breakfast and just get
532
00:37:55,710 --> 00:37:57,140
whatever they need for
when they are running.
533
00:37:57,170 --> 00:37:58,140
Just simple
things like Chapstick,
534
00:37:58,170 --> 00:38:00,040
and sun block that they
might have overlooked.
535
00:38:00,070 --> 00:38:01,470
And, I am just hanging out
536
00:38:01,510 --> 00:38:03,710
and making friends
and getting a tan.
537
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:08,780
The first place,
538
00:38:08,810 --> 00:38:12,340
he is from Czechoslovakia
and second is Miguel.
539
00:38:21,780 --> 00:38:25,370
The climb to Los Alesos
and back down at 50k is
540
00:38:25,410 --> 00:38:27,570
kind of a crucial
part of the course.
541
00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:31,110
You endure a really hot
and steep climb up there,
542
00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:34,110
and you are going to run
back the way you came,
543
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:36,310
and if you are feeling
good from Los Alesos,
544
00:38:36,340 --> 00:38:39,070
you can run that
trail pretty swiftly.
545
00:38:39,110 --> 00:38:40,370
You can run it pretty smooth.
546
00:38:40,410 --> 00:38:44,340
If you are feeling like crap,
it is not going to help you.
547
00:39:00,370 --> 00:39:03,210
First place,
second place, Miguel Lana,
548
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:15,810
I'm pretty screwed up.
549
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,670
My hip and my knee are
in pretty bad shape.
550
00:39:17,710 --> 00:39:21,540
Coming down the mountain
Naranjo I took a nice spinning
551
00:39:21,570 --> 00:39:25,810
header, so up here around my
hip and my knee are pretty,
552
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,640
in pretty bad shape.
553
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:30,070
Yeah, Daniel...
554
00:39:32,570 --> 00:39:33,710
andele amigo
555
00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:42,670
In the front Daniel was running
at a really blazing clip and
556
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:45,640
it looks like he caught up to
him and is cramping up real bad.
557
00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:37,710
I give them a half liter water
bottle at the aid station but
558
00:40:37,740 --> 00:40:39,610
they take two
hits and chuck it,
559
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,510
and it is going to be a hot
day and my concern is that
560
00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:44,440
water, later when it is needed
561
00:40:44,470 --> 00:41:24,780
Speaking Spanish -- Cheering.
562
00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:26,570
Daniel broke the
record by 15 minutes
563
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:28,310
but Miguel broke it by 20.
564
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,270
6:45 was the winner,
then 6:50 came in second.
565
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:36,510
You broke the record.
566
00:41:37,340 --> 00:41:39,570
He broke the record on...
567
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,370
Speaking in Spanish
568
00:41:49,410 --> 00:42:29,710
(helping a collapsed Will
get to the aid station)
569
00:42:29,740 --> 00:42:35,640
(Crying child with
loud speaker)
570
00:42:35,670 --> 00:42:44,810
(overhead in Spanish Speaking
in Spanish at aid station)
571
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,440
He had it in his eyes,
572
00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:52,710
a kid from the canyons
blast by me and
573
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:54,780
just pulled out an
amazing victory.
574
00:42:54,810 --> 00:42:58,070
That is just so,
that's just so sweet.
575
00:42:58,780 --> 00:43:01,810
I never had
aspirations for first but...
576
00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:05,210
ahh shoot.
577
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:26,810
(Background overhead speaker
announcing Arnulfo)
578
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,670
Can I sit? Nuh, slowly
579
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:35,510
I've been running my
whole life,
580
00:43:35,540 --> 00:43:38,310
since I was
five and I have never,
581
00:43:38,340 --> 00:43:40,170
ever, not finished a race.
582
00:43:41,110 --> 00:43:44,740
I've had pneumonia,
I've run through injuries.
583
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:52,470
It's just never
happened before.
584
00:43:59,070 --> 00:44:14,810
Let's go (Sounds of Will
moving out of the aid station)
585
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,070
Good?
586
00:44:16,110 --> 00:45:00,110
Yeah (Crowd cheering--
music
587
00:45:00,140 --> 00:45:01,510
Gracias
588
00:45:01,670 --> 00:45:13,410
(Crowd shouting and
cheering El Chivo, Bravo)
589
00:45:17,470 --> 00:45:19,310
That's wonderful,
wonderful Will.
590
00:45:19,340 --> 00:45:20,310
What spirit.
591
00:45:20,540 --> 00:45:31,610
(Local band plays
and sings)
592
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,070
Speaking Spanish and
congratulating Will
593
00:45:34,110 --> 00:45:35,640
(Laughing and signing
autograph)
594
00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:53,780
(Local band playing and
singing, music fades)
595
00:45:57,110 --> 00:46:07,370
(Sounds of people
talking on the phone)
596
00:46:07,410 --> 00:46:10,510
I first met Emily in
Residency and
597
00:46:10,540 --> 00:46:13,210
it was friendship at first site.
598
00:46:13,810 --> 00:46:16,470
We were interns together,
going through the good,
599
00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:17,570
the bad, and ugly.
600
00:46:17,610 --> 00:46:21,440
And, with Emily,
came Will,
601
00:46:21,470 --> 00:46:26,610
and he is interesting character.
602
00:46:27,070 --> 00:46:29,570
Jerry Seinfield is back in
Primetime with the "Marriage
603
00:46:29,610 --> 00:46:32,070
Ref," Thursday
nights at 10 pm,
604
00:46:32,110 --> 00:46:33,410
eastern on NBC.
605
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,110
Jerry says all
married couples have them,
606
00:46:36,210 --> 00:46:38,240
ongoing quarrels,
tiffs and spats,
607
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,040
that just never
seem to get resolved.
608
00:46:40,140 --> 00:46:43,070
Our viewer, Emily, from North
Carolina says that she has
609
00:46:43,110 --> 00:46:45,310
been losing sleep over
her issue with her husband.
610
00:46:45,410 --> 00:46:49,470
Take a look at this My husband
Will is a very unique person.
611
00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:51,310
He is truly one of a kind.
612
00:46:51,340 --> 00:46:55,240
You can see there is only one
side of the bed that has been
613
00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:56,640
slept on and that is mine.
614
00:46:57,070 --> 00:47:01,670
We are going to go
show where Daddy sleeps,
615
00:47:01,710 --> 00:47:06,440
and there he is, sleeping
on the screened in porch in
616
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:07,670
17-degree weather.
617
00:47:08,110 --> 00:47:08,610
Hi honey.
618
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,310
I definitely remember Emily
saying that for at least 2 or
619
00:47:12,340 --> 00:47:15,310
3 weeks after that, she was
talking about it all day.
620
00:47:15,410 --> 00:47:18,240
So, patients were
asking questions about it.
621
00:47:18,270 --> 00:47:20,610
So honey, why do you sleep out
on the porch when it would be
622
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,270
so much nicer for us to sleep
together in the same bed where
623
00:47:23,310 --> 00:47:25,170
its warm and cozy and
we can be together.
624
00:47:25,310 --> 00:47:27,510
I always loved
sleeping out under the stars,
625
00:47:27,540 --> 00:47:30,640
umm, hearing the
sound of the creek.
626
00:47:31,210 --> 00:47:32,510
Well, we don't get to spend
a lot of time together
627
00:47:32,540 --> 00:47:33,470
with our 2-year old.
628
00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:35,670
So, wouldn't it be nice since
we have that time together?
629
00:47:36,340 --> 00:47:39,610
I guess I have dreams of
hiking the Appalachian Trail
630
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,340
and that's not going to
happen any time soon so,
631
00:47:42,370 --> 00:47:44,040
I brought the
trail to my backyard.
632
00:47:44,210 --> 00:47:48,780
What's your take on their
sleeping situation, Jerry?
633
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:53,140
I love this under the stars.
634
00:47:53,210 --> 00:47:55,570
He's in porch with a
roof, there's no stars,
635
00:47:55,610 --> 00:47:59,470
you can't see any stars, you
hear the creek for 4 seconds,
636
00:47:59,510 --> 00:48:00,240
you're asleep.
637
00:48:00,270 --> 00:48:02,340
You can't hear a
creek when you're asleep.
638
00:48:02,370 --> 00:48:03,780
He's out of his mind.
639
00:48:03,810 --> 00:48:06,140
He needs to go to camp in
the summer with other kids.
640
00:48:06,170 --> 00:48:10,040
He needs to go to camp in the
summer I think it is fine that
641
00:48:10,070 --> 00:48:12,240
you've, you know, deluded
yourself into thinking you
642
00:48:12,270 --> 00:48:16,140
enjoy this, which is fine, but
not if it is upsetting your
643
00:48:16,170 --> 00:48:18,110
wife, you know a
little compromise.
644
00:48:18,140 --> 00:48:20,070
I don't think we
have to go right,
645
00:48:20,110 --> 00:48:23,410
just compromise, maybe some
of the time sleep in the bed?
646
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,270
Okay And if you miss
a night out there,
647
00:48:25,310 --> 00:48:26,470
is it that bad?
648
00:48:26,510 --> 00:48:28,110
What do you think
you are going to miss,
649
00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:29,310
a cricket?
650
00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:31,370
For her sake, uh, you know
when I get up in the middle of
651
00:48:31,410 --> 00:48:35,340
the night, the beds creaks,
she gets upset if I miss the
652
00:48:35,370 --> 00:48:37,540
toilet or don't put
the toilet lid down,
653
00:48:37,570 --> 00:48:42,570
so now I can sleep outside
and pee in the bucket, and...
654
00:48:42,610 --> 00:48:44,170
Who empties the bucket?
655
00:48:44,370 --> 00:48:47,740
I actually carry it out to
the compost pile once a month.
656
00:48:47,780 --> 00:48:49,170
So, it's my job.
657
00:48:49,210 --> 00:48:51,370
Oh, the dog, Oh God,
Oh, my God...
658
00:48:55,710 --> 00:48:56,310
Thank you.
659
00:49:01,670 --> 00:49:04,570
I think maybe even
the build up to Mexico he was
660
00:49:04,610 --> 00:49:09,110
doing more spontaneous
big runs around here,
661
00:49:09,140 --> 00:49:13,070
where he would just kind of
get up at three in the morning
662
00:49:13,110 --> 00:49:16,470
and go to South Carolina, and
Emily would find out after he
663
00:49:16,510 --> 00:49:19,410
was gone, that he was
going to run a marathon today.
664
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,810
I mean how much does she know
665
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,610
when he is in trouble
until it's over?
666
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:27,170
He doesn't tell
her until it's over.
667
00:49:27,470 --> 00:49:31,270
She knows that he might not
survive one of his adventures.
668
00:49:31,370 --> 00:49:33,340
I mean, I think that is always
in the back of her mind.
669
00:49:38,470 --> 00:49:47,710
(muffled sounds of
playing ball in the house)
670
00:49:47,740 --> 00:49:50,040
Aw, right into the bar
671
00:49:53,140 --> 00:49:55,470
I went to med school at Emory,
where he went to college.
672
00:49:55,510 --> 00:49:57,540
Most of the people in my class
673
00:49:57,570 --> 00:49:59,470
had actually gone to
college with Will.
674
00:49:59,510 --> 00:50:01,410
So, they were like, "Oh so
you're dating that guy that we
675
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:02,640
always used to see
running around campus,
676
00:50:02,670 --> 00:50:05,070
you know, at midnight."
677
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,240
I really liked going
out to nice dinners.
678
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:09,040
That was like my
idea of a nice evening,
679
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:11,210
is having a glass of wine and
try the different restaurants
680
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:14,110
in Atlanta, and that is
funny because that is not him.
681
00:50:14,410 --> 00:50:15,510
Even then, that wasn't him.
682
00:50:17,370 --> 00:50:19,640
I think he had these values
and he had this intention of
683
00:50:19,670 --> 00:50:20,710
living this way, but he, too,
684
00:50:20,740 --> 00:50:22,140
did not know sort of
how to get there.
685
00:50:22,170 --> 00:50:24,110
I think it has
been a path for him.
686
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,640
He has always been
drawn to, you know,
687
00:50:26,670 --> 00:50:28,610
native Americans or
indigenous people,
688
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,740
as sort of being very pure and
sort of living this idea of a
689
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:38,110
life that is in
harmony with the earth.
690
00:50:40,670 --> 00:50:42,610
I think there was a time
before we had River where he
691
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,410
thought about
training full time
692
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,640
and trying to
get a sponsorship.
693
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:49,570
One thing he realized early
on with running is that runner
694
00:50:49,610 --> 00:50:52,110
like to talk about their
times and their next race.
695
00:50:52,140 --> 00:50:55,070
You know his whole, sort
of purpose in life is to be
696
00:50:55,110 --> 00:50:58,780
selfless, and you know, it
felt selfish to him to spend
697
00:50:58,810 --> 00:51:00,410
so much time
running and training,
698
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,740
and almost in a way to justify
the amount of time and energy
699
00:51:04,780 --> 00:51:07,510
that he has put into it, he
needed to make it meaningful.
700
00:51:07,540 --> 00:51:10,070
And, when he
found the Tarahumara,
701
00:51:10,110 --> 00:51:14,440
it seemed such a perfect match
for him because here was a
702
00:51:14,470 --> 00:51:16,640
group of people that were
indigenous and native and
703
00:51:16,670 --> 00:51:19,610
elicited, you know, sort of
the things that he had always
704
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,040
cared about and respected,
be the runners and their...
705
00:51:22,070 --> 00:51:24,040
it just all clicked for him.
706
00:51:24,170 --> 00:51:33,210
(Sounds of Will on
exercise bike)
707
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:34,570
You know, I am going to
get home from work at,
708
00:51:34,610 --> 00:51:37,670
you know, 6:30
and chances are,
709
00:51:37,710 --> 00:51:40,270
you know, he'll still
be finishing exercise,
710
00:51:40,310 --> 00:51:43,340
and you know, it's not like I
can walk in and be like
711
00:51:43,370 --> 00:51:44,740
"we're home," can you stop now?
712
00:51:44,780 --> 00:51:48,210
I mean, I've moved
beyond the point of anger.
713
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:50,240
There are days that
I'm frustrated with it,
714
00:51:50,270 --> 00:51:52,540
but I don't think we would
have had a relationship that
715
00:51:52,570 --> 00:51:55,210
would have worked if hadn't
just accepted that it was,
716
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:57,670
you know, a member
of our marriage.
717
00:51:58,140 --> 00:52:01,240
(Sounds of Will
on exercise bike)
718
00:52:01,270 --> 00:52:02,340
My left foot is a mess.
719
00:52:02,470 --> 00:52:04,410
The MRI showed a
partially torn Achille's,
720
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,780
and the doc
recommended surgery.
721
00:52:07,170 --> 00:52:09,040
Running is supposed to
be healthy not harmful.
722
00:52:10,110 --> 00:52:13,310
I have pushed my body as
hard and as far as it can go.
723
00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:15,170
Now the injuries
are piling up.
724
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,570
(Sounds of Will on
exercise bike)
725
00:52:18,610 --> 00:52:22,140
You have to manage the athlete
to facilitate them recovering.
726
00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:24,640
Whether with
surgery or without.
727
00:52:25,170 --> 00:52:29,240
An Achilles is, is you know,
about 4-6 weeks in some sort
728
00:52:29,270 --> 00:52:33,470
of immobilization, and then
4-6 weeks in a therapy program
729
00:52:33,510 --> 00:52:36,640
before you're really
actually out running again.
730
00:52:36,670 --> 00:52:39,670
We see runners that
become so upset
731
00:52:39,710 --> 00:52:43,780
because they are so obsessed,
that they can't function.
732
00:52:45,370 --> 00:52:47,570
We like to treat
them conservatively,
733
00:52:47,710 --> 00:52:50,310
hold them back,
really from themselves,
734
00:52:50,540 --> 00:52:53,640
and then get them back
to what they love to do.
735
00:52:54,140 --> 00:52:57,170
Getting them back to
their routine is the therapy.
736
00:52:58,540 --> 00:53:04,740
I was probably training 15-20
hours a week plus the hidden
737
00:53:04,780 --> 00:53:08,170
amount of time it takes, is
just the amount of extra sleep
738
00:53:08,210 --> 00:53:09,740
you require when
you are training.
739
00:53:10,070 --> 00:53:12,670
The extra time preparing
foods so that you are eating
740
00:53:12,710 --> 00:53:16,370
healthy, stretching, icing,
all those kinds of things.
741
00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:19,210
I had another
injury this winter,
742
00:53:19,340 --> 00:53:22,340
and at this point we are not
sure whether it's another back
743
00:53:22,370 --> 00:53:26,070
problem or if it is
originating from another area,
744
00:53:26,110 --> 00:53:29,540
but I am convinced now that
the competitive part of my
745
00:53:29,570 --> 00:53:31,370
running career is over.
746
00:53:32,570 --> 00:53:36,370
It's frustrating as we get
older to keep pushing and
747
00:53:36,410 --> 00:53:39,240
climbing back and trying
to get back to our previous
748
00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:43,710
levels of performance, even
though biology is against us.
749
00:53:48,370 --> 00:53:53,710
I spend every morning, sometimes
twice a day, with Juno.
750
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,670
She has literally fed
me now for two years.
751
00:53:56,780 --> 00:54:00,210
Every morning I drink
her milk on my cereal.
752
00:54:01,410 --> 00:54:04,310
I think Juno is my favorite.
753
00:54:07,410 --> 00:54:12,710
The reception was in a barn
right next to the farm and
754
00:54:12,740 --> 00:54:15,740
the actual ceremony was
out in a pasture.
755
00:54:18,780 --> 00:54:20,210
It was a beautiful ceremony.
756
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:21,310
Everything turned
out wonderfully,
757
00:54:21,340 --> 00:54:23,640
but at the time
her parents were,
758
00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:31,410
were pretty irate with me, and
tried all sorts of ways to try
759
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,540
to get me to put my
shoes on and wear a tie,
760
00:54:33,570 --> 00:54:34,810
and I just wouldn't do it.
761
00:54:35,370 --> 00:54:39,070
But right before the wedding,
there she was behind the barn
762
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:42,070
with a bunch of goats
nibbling at her dress,
763
00:54:42,710 --> 00:54:45,740
and to me that was just
the most magical moment,
764
00:54:45,780 --> 00:54:48,240
even more than the exchange
of vows or anything else.
765
00:54:48,270 --> 00:54:51,370
Just seeing her for the first
time peeking out from the
766
00:54:51,410 --> 00:54:57,240
behind the barn, I was just
totally enamored and enchanted
767
00:54:57,270 --> 00:55:00,810
and the goats all
around her, I thought,
768
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,270
this is our future.
769
00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:07,780
These are frames
that go in the beehives.
770
00:55:08,070 --> 00:55:10,570
They have to be cleaned
out and replace the wax.
771
00:55:10,670 --> 00:55:12,340
We'll keep some of this wax.
772
00:55:15,370 --> 00:55:18,110
This is comb basically
that the bees have made.
773
00:55:18,510 --> 00:55:19,670
They fill all of
these with honey,
774
00:55:19,710 --> 00:55:21,740
and we've pulled out all
of the honey from the wax,
775
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,370
from what they have
built, the honeycomb,
776
00:55:25,510 --> 00:55:27,670
and then we can
use this to make,
777
00:55:27,710 --> 00:55:29,370
to make candles out of.
778
00:55:31,740 --> 00:55:33,270
They produce something
called royal jelly,
779
00:55:33,310 --> 00:55:35,340
which is what they
feed their queen,
780
00:55:35,370 --> 00:55:37,640
which is some of the most
nutritionally powerful stuff
781
00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:39,440
on the planet.
782
00:55:39,470 --> 00:55:43,040
Just incredibly
nutrient dense,
783
00:55:43,070 --> 00:55:47,270
and used even medicinally
for all sorts of things.
784
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:51,140
And then they
produce this wax which,
785
00:55:51,170 --> 00:55:55,310
you know, can be used to make
candles and all sorts of crafts.
786
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,340
We're actually doing this
Jewish dance that they do at
787
00:55:59,370 --> 00:56:01,340
every wedding; I can't
remember what it is called.
788
00:56:01,370 --> 00:56:06,070
But we were pretty clear that
this was going to be our own
789
00:56:06,110 --> 00:56:09,210
ceremony because we were
creating our own lives here in
790
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:12,140
Asheville and, you know, both
of our families are far away,
791
00:56:12,170 --> 00:56:16,270
and we had to, we have had
to go it on our own here.
792
00:56:16,310 --> 00:56:22,270
Raising a kid, raising a farm,
it has been something we knew
793
00:56:22,310 --> 00:56:24,570
that we would be
doing by ourselves,
794
00:56:24,610 --> 00:56:27,610
and our families have been
supportive but it's really
795
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,780
just Emily and I,
getting things done out here.
796
00:56:49,810 --> 00:56:54,110
It will probably be
right handed, yeah.
797
00:56:54,610 --> 00:56:58,510
But what if it's a boy,
what is your favorite name
798
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:04,340
Max I like that.
How about if it's a girl?
799
00:57:04,370 --> 00:57:06,540
Sophia Oh, Sophia.
800
00:57:07,780 --> 00:57:11,570
I love Sophia Even if with
everything coming in to him
801
00:57:11,610 --> 00:57:15,240
That's how he eats and drinks,
because the baby doesn't have
802
00:57:15,270 --> 00:57:18,070
any food in there, like we
can't feed him peanut butter
803
00:57:18,110 --> 00:57:18,610
and jelly sandwiches.
804
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,070
Well, I thought that was
how everything gets into him,
805
00:57:21,110 --> 00:57:25,540
like his soul Yeah, now we
don't know how his soul...
806
00:57:25,570 --> 00:57:27,240
Is that the
vagina right there?
807
00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:29,210
That's right.
That's where he comes out?
808
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,310
Yep, comes out
right through there,
809
00:57:32,340 --> 00:57:33,510
right through there, yep.
810
00:57:34,810 --> 00:57:37,640
I see his head,
I see his, like his...
811
00:57:37,670 --> 00:57:40,140
There is his
backbone and his heart.
812
00:57:40,170 --> 00:57:41,370
His spine, brrrrup, oh
813
00:57:41,410 --> 00:57:48,310
(Sounds from the
ultrasound
814
00:57:48,340 --> 00:57:50,140
It sounds like a horse
815
00:57:50,810 --> 00:57:52,170
That's the heart It
816
00:57:53,570 --> 00:57:57,670
sounds like its windy out
there Its windy out there
817
00:57:59,780 --> 00:58:14,270
(Airport sounds then sounds
of Will working out)
818
00:58:14,310 --> 00:58:17,340
Usually I just do it like out in
the hallway of the airport.
819
00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:18,740
I'll just put down a towel,
820
00:58:18,780 --> 00:58:20,370
I'll just do sit
ups and pushups.
821
00:58:20,780 --> 00:58:22,410
I mean it seems
perfectly normal to me.
822
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:23,710
I mean people
are reading books,
823
00:58:23,740 --> 00:58:25,470
and what's the big deal
about doing pushups
824
00:58:25,510 --> 00:58:27,540
and sit ups and planks.
825
00:58:27,570 --> 00:58:29,740
You know, if I saw someone
doing that I wouldn't think
826
00:58:29,780 --> 00:58:34,410
that was a big deal but for
Emily it is pretty horrifying.
827
00:58:38,780 --> 00:58:42,540
I know there is a lot more;
a few that stand out.
828
00:58:42,570 --> 00:58:45,510
She is a very
punctual, timely person.
829
00:58:45,540 --> 00:58:49,170
I am very organized but I tend
to be on the late side because
830
00:58:49,210 --> 00:58:51,570
I am trying to do too
much and cram everything in.
831
00:58:52,410 --> 00:58:54,670
Whenever we go to the airport
there is always a fight
832
00:58:54,710 --> 00:58:56,610
because I am always
a little bit late,
833
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,210
and she is super anxious
about getting there on time.
834
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,170
One time I said, "okay why
don't we drive separately.
835
00:59:02,210 --> 00:59:04,670
I've just got to do one thing
at the office and then I will
836
00:59:04,710 --> 00:59:05,610
meet you at the airport."
837
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,210
I realized that I had written
down the wrong time
838
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,370
for our flight.
839
00:59:09,670 --> 00:59:12,340
I so I was an hour
late, the flight was gone,
840
00:59:12,370 --> 00:59:16,340
and it was actually for her
grandfather's 90th birthday,
841
00:59:16,370 --> 00:59:18,670
and it was a surprise
party and had been planned for
842
00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:22,310
months, and her whole
family was there waiting.
843
00:59:22,340 --> 00:59:25,570
Another time, Emily was
running her first marathon.
844
00:59:25,610 --> 00:59:28,610
You know she'd been my
crew for dozens of races,
845
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,240
so finally I was given the
chance to return the favor.
846
00:59:31,270 --> 00:59:33,640
I told her I was just going to
run the first 13 miles myself
847
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:36,780
and meet her there, but
I was running so fast,
848
00:59:37,140 --> 00:59:38,240
I was running a personal best.
849
00:59:38,370 --> 00:59:40,570
Like I was way ahead of the
fastest time I had ever run
850
00:59:40,610 --> 00:59:43,270
for 13 miles, so I
couldn't just stop;
851
00:59:43,310 --> 00:59:44,140
I was feeling great.
852
00:59:44,170 --> 00:59:47,610
So, I just kept going, and I
ran the best time I have ever
853
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,640
run, but I didn't meet
Emily for any of aid stations,
854
00:59:51,670 --> 00:59:53,170
and she ended up
breaking her foot,
855
00:59:53,210 --> 00:59:54,470
so I felt really bad.
856
00:59:55,610 --> 00:59:56,470
Yeah.
857
00:59:56,610 --> 00:59:59,710
I mentioned it to her much
later that I had also run the
858
00:59:59,740 --> 01:00:03,270
marathon and had run
a personal record.
859
01:00:03,340 --> 01:00:06,270
So, you can see a pattern, I
tend to disappear unexpectedly
860
01:00:06,310 --> 01:00:10,410
and leave her in awkward
situations and make her cry.
861
01:00:11,780 --> 01:00:14,210
But, you know, she
was happy for me.
862
01:00:14,510 --> 01:00:15,780
That's typical Emily.
863
01:00:16,070 --> 01:00:19,040
I do something
douchie and she,
864
01:00:19,070 --> 01:00:21,570
she just rolls with it.
865
01:00:21,740 --> 01:00:30,670
(Sounds in the plane then
loudspeaker at Urique)
866
01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:34,740
When I came to Urique the face I
saw was the wall with the names,
867
01:00:34,780 --> 01:00:38,270
and I thought, it would be
nice if my name be there
868
01:00:38,310 --> 01:00:41,310
together with Will
Harlan, with Arnulfo Quimare,
869
01:00:41,340 --> 01:00:43,340
with all the winners,
the past winners.
870
01:00:43,370 --> 01:00:46,040
After I run marathons,
871
01:00:46,070 --> 01:00:48,470
and I retire because I
injure in my low back.
872
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,510
So, I had to be very,
very patient to recover.
873
01:00:52,710 --> 01:00:56,540
I used to run over a
160-170 miles a week.
874
01:00:57,140 --> 01:01:00,070
I was so completely blocked
out in terms of nobody can
875
01:01:00,110 --> 01:01:04,240
touch my time and it is so
much anguish because it really
876
01:01:04,270 --> 01:01:09,040
takes away from you the
privilege to enjoy your family,
877
01:01:09,070 --> 01:01:10,710
enjoy the people around.
878
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,740
(Background sounds, people
talking in Spanish)
879
01:01:13,780 --> 01:01:18,310
There is a very thin line
between passion and obsession,
880
01:01:18,740 --> 01:01:22,040
and you have to be
always in the passion side.
881
01:01:22,670 --> 01:01:26,610
(Background children
shouting in Spanish,
882
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:41,170
running sounds on
road
883
01:01:43,540 --> 01:01:57,670
(Sounds of people walking
and talking in Spanish,
884
01:01:57,710 --> 01:02:05,370
children playing.)
885
01:02:05,510 --> 01:02:14,140
(Sounds in the town people
talking getting ready for the
run, loudspeaker.)
886
01:02:14,170 --> 01:03:24,610
(Start of the Kids run,
music, cheering)
887
01:03:26,810 --> 01:03:29,740
My main goal is not to win the
race it is just to carry on the
888
01:03:29,780 --> 01:03:33,040
mission of sharing
perspective of Caballo.
889
01:03:34,110 --> 01:03:37,070
The first time I met him
was like "I like this idea,
890
01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:41,810
and bringing the
whole community into one.
891
01:03:42,210 --> 01:03:47,040
(Music and loudspeaker
in Spanish)
892
01:03:47,070 --> 01:03:48,270
I wanted to come down to Urique,
893
01:03:48,310 --> 01:03:50,740
and pretty much pay
homage to the Tarahumara and
894
01:03:50,780 --> 01:03:54,540
Micah True, and give back
something that they've given,
895
01:03:54,570 --> 01:03:55,740
you know, to me.
896
01:03:56,170 --> 01:04:02,670
(Music-showing plaque
for Micah True)
897
01:04:02,710 --> 01:04:05,070
Seeing all the festivities
and the Tarahumara,
898
01:04:05,170 --> 01:04:06,780
you know, dressed in
their traditional outfits is
899
01:04:06,810 --> 01:04:08,610
something you can't
read about in a book
900
01:04:24,510 --> 01:04:27,070
I could spend my free time
chasing piaras or I could
901
01:04:27,110 --> 01:04:28,640
devote myself to
helping the Tarahumara.
902
01:04:29,110 --> 01:04:30,670
Emily and I have always
dreamed of dedicating
903
01:04:30,710 --> 01:04:32,210
ourselves to something larger.
904
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:37,640
(Background music and
sounds from the street)
905
01:04:37,670 --> 01:04:39,310
A nonprofit called
"Native seeds"
906
01:04:39,340 --> 01:04:41,440
got the seeds from
the Tarahumara,
907
01:04:41,470 --> 01:04:45,140
kept them in a seed bank, grew
them out on farms in Arizona,
908
01:04:45,170 --> 01:04:47,780
which was not too much
different from the canyons.
909
01:04:48,340 --> 01:04:49,640
A lot of these are
native varieties.
910
01:04:49,740 --> 01:04:51,710
Indigenous heirloom varieties.
911
01:04:52,510 --> 01:04:53,440
Guadalupe.
912
01:04:55,780 --> 01:04:56,640
Ola amigo
913
01:05:02,370 --> 01:05:03,310
I mean, look at the sand.
914
01:05:03,340 --> 01:05:07,670
I mean, it's like trying to
grow something at a beach,
915
01:05:07,710 --> 01:05:12,240
you know, there is
just no organic matter,
916
01:05:12,270 --> 01:05:16,240
so for them to have
this much flourishing,
917
01:05:16,270 --> 01:05:18,670
in early March is
pretty impressive.
918
01:05:19,140 --> 01:05:23,610
There is purple eyed
black beans and all different
919
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,210
varieties of dent and flint
corn and just some really cool
920
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,640
varieties of seeds that
only grow well here in this
921
01:05:29,670 --> 01:05:31,510
climate, in these canyons.
922
01:05:31,710 --> 01:05:36,070
And, so if they have another
drought or another food
923
01:05:36,110 --> 01:05:39,310
shortage, they'll be able to
access the seeds right here in
924
01:05:39,340 --> 01:05:43,070
the canyons, rather than having
seeds shipped from the states.
925
01:05:45,070 --> 01:05:47,780
I have been asking what
do the Tarahumara need?
926
01:05:48,070 --> 01:05:48,780
What do they want?
927
01:05:49,070 --> 01:05:55,810
(Speaking Spanish to
unidentified female)
928
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,440
What the Tarahumara keep
saying to us, is "seeds"
929
01:05:59,470 --> 01:06:00,540
and they want water.
930
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,310
(Woman in background
speaking Spanish to Will)
931
01:06:03,340 --> 01:06:06,340
Just like human diversity
and species diversity,
932
01:06:06,370 --> 01:06:09,070
there is food diversity and
that is really important to
933
01:06:09,110 --> 01:06:11,310
the Tarahumara, not just
growing any old bean or corn,
934
01:06:11,340 --> 01:06:13,540
but one that is gonna
survive the winters here
935
01:06:13,570 --> 01:06:17,310
and thrive in these sandy soils.
936
01:06:17,540 --> 01:06:20,670
This is what a Tarahumara
rancho used to look like.
937
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,410
You know, beans,
corn, fruit trees,
938
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:25,780
a variety of different crops.
939
01:06:26,070 --> 01:06:30,440
Greens, fertile soil, water
and this is was used to be
940
01:06:30,470 --> 01:06:35,140
scattered all over the canyons
and drought and land rights
941
01:06:35,170 --> 01:06:40,210
and drug wars have caused them
to lose their land and lose
942
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,740
their traditions and lose
access to reliable water and
943
01:06:43,780 --> 01:06:46,340
have to eat all their seeds
because they have nothing else
944
01:06:46,370 --> 01:06:50,310
to eat, so this, I would
say, is the long term vision,
945
01:06:50,410 --> 01:06:53,640
and to get there, they need
to get their land rights back,
946
01:06:53,670 --> 01:06:57,410
they need to get a healthy
supply of water through
947
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:01,240
tapping a lot of the springs,
higher up in the canyons,
948
01:07:01,270 --> 01:07:03,240
and they need
access to the seeds,
949
01:07:03,270 --> 01:07:04,410
that have grown for centuries.
950
01:07:04,670 --> 01:07:07,740
And so, one step at a time,
we are trying to get there and
951
01:07:07,780 --> 01:07:09,210
this is a good start.
952
01:07:09,370 --> 01:07:36,310
(Sounds of water
rushing
953
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,310
(Rushing water, sounds of the
farm, Emily taking care of
animals)
954
01:07:40,340 --> 01:07:41,140
I love these.
955
01:07:41,170 --> 01:07:41,740
These are the things...
956
01:07:41,780 --> 01:07:42,670
I know that's what
you want now
957
01:07:42,710 --> 01:07:44,210
so I was trying to
get it for you.
958
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,140
Do you want me to move
your breakfast over here?
959
01:07:46,170 --> 01:07:51,140
(Sounds of a program
playing on computer)
960
01:07:51,170 --> 01:07:52,170
I am going to go outside, ok?
961
01:07:52,210 --> 01:07:53,410
Do you hear me?
962
01:07:53,440 --> 01:08:02,070
Yeah (Sounds of a program
playing on computer;
963
01:08:02,110 --> 01:08:14,710
sounds of bowls clanking
together, walking outside)
964
01:08:14,740 --> 01:08:17,240
Ahh, you sweet girl
you never get any.
965
01:08:18,170 --> 01:08:21,470
It's ok, you're desperate.
966
01:08:24,670 --> 01:08:26,140
Let's see how bad this is.
967
01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:28,140
This is rock solid.
968
01:08:28,470 --> 01:08:29,780
Let's just get this out here.
969
01:08:30,510 --> 01:08:36,610
(Sounds of breaking
through ice in bucket-
970
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,470
walking around the farm
feeding animals)
971
01:08:39,510 --> 01:08:42,710
Oh, you've got a
baby in your belly.
972
01:08:47,810 --> 01:08:57,610
Yeah (Sounds of ED walking
around the farm feeding the
animals)
973
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,210
Ahh, that's better.
974
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,070
Oh, look at you,
you sweet girl,
975
01:09:02,270 --> 01:09:03,410
someone's been plucking ya.
976
01:09:07,810 --> 01:09:09,510
Every day River says "is
daddy coming home today?
977
01:09:09,570 --> 01:09:11,540
Oh, no that's right he is
going to be home in however
978
01:09:11,570 --> 01:09:12,540
many more days."
979
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,270
So, he's keeping track of it.
980
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,340
I don't want this, they're
talking and I don't like this.
981
01:09:18,440 --> 01:09:19,440
You don't want this one?
982
01:09:19,470 --> 01:09:22,340
Yeah, because they're only
talking and not football games.
983
01:09:22,470 --> 01:09:25,110
Okay, well let's find
a different one then.
984
01:09:25,310 --> 01:09:27,570
In year's past,
he has called me,
985
01:09:27,610 --> 01:09:28,740
like after the race.
986
01:09:28,780 --> 01:09:30,710
I am hoping that
he'll call tonight.
987
01:09:33,710 --> 01:09:35,540
(Sounds from a football
game on the computer)
988
01:09:35,570 --> 01:09:37,070
I can't remember the time
difference there.
989
01:09:37,110 --> 01:09:38,240
I think it is a
couple of hours,
990
01:09:38,270 --> 01:09:40,670
and I can't remember what time
it starts there but we woke up
991
01:09:40,710 --> 01:09:42,670
thinking about him.
992
01:09:45,070 --> 01:09:47,570
He keeps saying "well you
know do you think he will win?
993
01:09:48,310 --> 01:09:50,780
"Cuz, at this age
he into winning
994
01:09:55,340 --> 01:09:56,140
Come in.
995
01:09:56,510 --> 01:09:58,710
I feel like Will's not
going to win the race again.
996
01:09:58,740 --> 01:09:59,670
I feel like he
already did that.
997
01:09:59,710 --> 01:10:02,140
I think it is about just
going down to maintain
998
01:10:02,170 --> 01:10:05,570
relationships, and
stay involved and...
999
01:10:05,610 --> 01:10:08,470
I mean, I am sure he'd love to
try to win but I don't think
1000
01:10:08,510 --> 01:10:11,670
he really has that in his
mind as something that is a
1001
01:10:11,710 --> 01:10:13,440
possibility necessarily.
1002
01:10:13,740 --> 01:10:16,570
I think he is just going for
the experience of being there,
1003
01:10:16,610 --> 01:10:19,440
and making sure all the things
he is working on are going
1004
01:10:19,470 --> 01:10:22,570
well and seeing Arnulfo.
1005
01:10:22,610 --> 01:10:25,040
And, so, I don't really
feel nervous about it.
1006
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:26,640
I feel like the
first year he went,
1007
01:10:26,670 --> 01:10:29,070
when he actually won, you
know and I had a little baby,
1008
01:10:29,110 --> 01:10:30,640
and that I was nervous.
1009
01:10:30,780 --> 01:10:34,110
(Sounds from RH talking
in the background)
1010
01:10:34,140 --> 01:10:34,810
Where did you move me?
1011
01:10:35,140 --> 01:10:36,310
You can't move me that far.
1012
01:10:36,340 --> 01:10:39,110
That was just not
there, that was just...
1013
01:10:39,140 --> 01:10:40,510
Did you move me, yes or no?
1014
01:10:40,610 --> 01:10:42,640
Uh, that was just where
I was at the last time
1015
01:10:42,670 --> 01:10:43,640
Ok, did you do anything?
1016
01:10:44,470 --> 01:10:46,570
No, my turn though
1017
01:10:57,210 --> 01:10:59,640
Knowing Will Harlan
and knowing that
1018
01:10:59,670 --> 01:11:01,070
he is an ultramarathon runner,
1019
01:11:01,110 --> 01:11:03,610
and knowing that he has his
in his heart the competitive
1020
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,440
side, it doesn't
matter what you say,
1021
01:11:06,470 --> 01:11:09,040
if you enter into a race,
you want to try to win it.
1022
01:11:12,540 --> 01:11:14,510
And I know if he won
one time here
1023
01:11:14,540 --> 01:11:18,340
and why not retiring
yourself from winning a race?
1024
01:11:36,370 --> 01:11:42,440
(Loudspeaker counting
down to begin the race --
1025
01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:48,810
cheers, whistling)
1026
01:11:49,040 --> 01:12:08,640
(Speaking Spanish-sounds
of people running)
1027
01:12:08,670 --> 01:12:09,740
They are on the
brink of survival.
1028
01:12:10,270 --> 01:12:13,410
Whether they show up
for the gringo races,
1029
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:16,570
depends primarily on if they
will be able to get corn year
1030
01:12:16,610 --> 01:12:19,370
after year, that makes it
worth the caloric expenditure.
1031
01:12:19,640 --> 01:13:34,540
(Background music and sounds of
people running and cheering)
1032
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,640
The pain opens my eyes to
the suffering of others.
1033
01:13:56,070 --> 01:13:59,170
I am feeling something
that other people are feeling
1034
01:13:59,210 --> 01:14:03,440
constantly on a daily basis,
whether it is hunger or pain
1035
01:14:03,470 --> 01:14:07,780
or fatigue, and of course,
mine is artificial.
1036
01:14:08,740 --> 01:14:12,470
Mine is finite
and theirs isn't.
1037
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,670
I don't want to dwell too much
on suffering and be some kind
1038
01:14:25,710 --> 01:14:29,210
of sadistic, machoistic,
depressed freak show,
1039
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,170
but I also don't want
to lose sight of them.
1040
01:14:35,610 --> 01:14:38,570
I know that my suffering
in a race is temporary,
1041
01:14:38,610 --> 01:14:40,270
that there is a
finish line for me,
1042
01:14:40,310 --> 01:14:43,140
and then it is over, and I
can go back to my comfortable
1043
01:14:43,170 --> 01:14:45,110
lifestyle but
for everyone else,
1044
01:14:45,540 --> 01:14:46,710
there is no finish line.
1045
01:14:47,210 --> 01:14:49,470
That is probably why
I suffer every day.
1046
01:14:50,040 --> 01:15:03,810
(Background music -
Cheering in Spanish)
1047
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,270
I did not want to Urique's
last memory of me to
1048
01:15:06,310 --> 01:15:08,780
be me collapsed on the
side of road puking.
1049
01:15:08,810 --> 01:15:14,270
I wanted them to know
that I finish what I start,
1050
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,440
even though it was
incredibly painful to do so,
1051
01:15:18,470 --> 01:15:21,340
and I wanted to
quit at about mile 10.
1052
01:15:24,440 --> 01:15:26,510
I just didn't
want to fall down,
1053
01:15:27,140 --> 01:15:28,340
I just wanted to make
it all the way across
1054
01:15:28,370 --> 01:15:29,670
the finish line this year.
1055
01:15:30,070 --> 01:15:31,740
(Background cheering
and music)
1056
01:15:31,780 --> 01:15:34,780
Only you know if you win as
deep as you possibly can,
1057
01:15:34,810 --> 01:15:38,140
and I know today that
took everything I had.
1058
01:15:38,470 --> 01:15:42,140
For the past few years I have
been kind of chasing the kid I
1059
01:15:42,170 --> 01:15:46,110
once was, but now I am ok just
being the old man that I am.
1060
01:15:47,470 --> 01:15:50,670
I think I am ready to be a
dad and coach and farmer
1061
01:15:50,710 --> 01:15:53,240
and a writer, a husband.
1062
01:15:53,570 --> 01:15:56,710
I have got a lot to do;
a lot to look forward to.
1063
01:15:57,070 --> 01:16:20,240
(Background music,
goats bleating)
1064
01:16:20,270 --> 01:16:21,170
Ok girls
1065
01:16:21,210 --> 01:16:41,670
(Background music,
farm sounds)
1066
01:16:41,710 --> 01:16:48,540
(Will talking to River,
Background music, TV sounds)
1067
01:16:48,570 --> 01:16:49,310
Now sing it
1068
01:16:49,340 --> 01:17:11,170
(Sounds of Emily and River
singing with new baby crying)
1069
01:17:11,210 --> 01:17:27,170
(Background music, Will running
