Lesson 3 from the Tarahumara

There is the occasion in Born to Run when Caballo Blanco (who had trekked into the Copper Canyons to live among the Tarahumara) goes one morning for a short hike to a natural thermal pool in the woods. He spots a faint trail through the trees he’s not seen before so he takes off running down it and hours later he is still running (page 49).

Sometimes it can be good to be spontaneous, ditch the schedule, ditch the watch, just run and go with the flow.
