quite a simple rule india. i think there's a lot of concerns we'll have to use next tell by the on the long voyage through the ocean. another home back way with account. and for a long time, they had to be humans on the journey. but now the premises have to come there, protect the

ocean on the or may i put i take care of my family, manage a cafe. i'm consistently trying to run because this is tenzing. don't mind, made up. my dream is to represent india internationally. but i see my name is complaining about my running. my name is mary, just 15 and the mother at 19 tends, in his found freedom and running out from morrison's high in northern india's himalayas. she does it without any institutional support funds or training. this means a difficult balancing act between providing for her family in a rural village and reaching her athletic potential all while racing against social

expectations for women and mothers. and that's my want to send a message to all the goals out the if i can run, why can't you the or somebody in my hometown goes, i'm not encouraged to run. you don't get any good. i need to try and buy myself and there's no one to guide me. anyone. i'm often told either i should do this or i shouldn't do that. so yeah, we've worked some people told me asking me why is the woman i run for then women on the run and the only the may i put on. i do a little, the household shows run my cache and on top of that consistency train and participate in some of india's most competitive races tends in his father passed

away when she was a child to 2 months i've struggled ever since childhood, damascus. at 15, i was married off to a stranger to i didn't live a normal life and i didn't, you don't remember me. i called his face the but i didn't experience things i should if in my childhood, the minute it's one of the reasons i started running, i wanted to prove to myself the zillow so that i could have the kind of challenges if, if i didn't want to buy pounds to limit me my days i usually spend during tours my life comp just be the american dream of the 2 things for myself on the.

ready tennyson is one of india's most active outcome, harrison brothers. she runs a small cafe in the himalayas and just have families. main breadwinner, though, she only began running, assess the 2. she's one titles in 12 of the 18 races she's taken. parted. makes it a made up. my goal is to participate in international races and represent india or that wouldn't be easy. given tenzing is reality. somebody under time i have to tell them to participate. and when i do the necessary training again, just because i'm financially weak, i fall behind the a note from harrison in the neighboring village of monotony would give, tends, in another chance to prove myself the 100 kilometer matter. as soon as being

organized in my home town, it's called the right time challenge. i'm excited to run on my home to i don't think it will rain today. the tenzing is self coached, embarking on grueling. so t now on mountain medicine runs without any official training. this is meant to state planning process. on the high risk of injury, the, she's consistently proven hard talent with strong, showing tens in still struggles to raise funds for races. i think another challenge to an already difficult suppose the come on, you know, if, if we don't have a running community around me,

so i have to train it or not we guide there's no one to guide me or let me know what i should have void or provide way to do things. so you have is um for help sending iowa. and when tenzing came to the hospital, she was experiencing a slight pain in her right. hip pain will exclude the inkling overreach, and they need go on to obtain use to get was winter, at least to tell, like, well trained training guy have to be sick since she had no one that's going to she was doing random exercises which close to injury mixes, i just got everything changed lately. any. do you want to go back but even off the guessing and, and she kept training didn't message. and this lesson to condition all of us will get when get audio to basic, a korea, which is a 16 i'm running to just be an effective standard, but still she and just performed well performance. what are the science for challenge and hoping to represent india internationally despite to

economic prosperity tends and is also confronted with the daily social pressure of women hoping to succeed in male dominated sports. yeah, this is only compounded in rural india where women rarely have the opportunity to pursue sports in the 1st place. tends in, stands out to me on her neighbors. she should run travel and see places educate herself and excel in their passion. i boss, if i'm not, she shouldn't live like how do we, bro? no, we've done nothing like that. even though not the notes everyone is to, to see if the you know this new generation, they don't follow traditional seem to come working. a single job isn't sufficient.

to raise a family bottom which. busy busy tends in, was raised by how single mazda tends, is running. it's hard to understand for an older generation bunch of even people keep complaining about you when they ask, how do you have time for it and what you gain from it. i just sit quietly and don't tell me so i think if i really a man of me, i was married often such a young age in the way. so it was that i could have had a better life. you have no idea what else could i do? your father died dudley. my other kids went their separate ways. everyone left the village in there. i was left behind with you to look often. i thought the only way

to survive was mary you off. if you doing something do it by yourself to listen to these people, how they can assist me with i was doing every race that comes of moment when you ask yourself, why am i doing this? got to you. there was a way to remind myself that i'm extremely passionate about this account. quit health way is of the, this was my dream was renewals, i'd be more mind variables out of all this is in the back of my mind during the race. why did i choose such a difficult problem? because running in the rain? i know what of why did i choose this funds? because her face moved here he came into. now i've come to the conclusion that you suffer. if you choose the other for my play myself, been individual problems ends in these problems on just has on mine. and there are many women like us who share option, but kind of run with me good by the, the jump in the engine whenever tends in,

and i train most people we pasta are testing outside of they took about to ask, who are these 2 goals running going to be done, even acquaintances, say things like wherever you guys running off to, how do you go back to the tense in itself is more than i do because she is a bit. tulsa is like, she has been repeatedly discouraged and asked why she's running of this age limit. people tell how to do her, choose the well, i can't explain how inspirational she is for a whole stage and for the world at large even of to being married. and living in a patriarchal society and especially supporting high wrote identity despite societal pressure continuously bought and i shouldn't get well. so i mean, i know what she motivates, goes around, have a niche, she's not just running for herself. i'm not was involved in the account. she has a different energy, which is right now, women have hire a g, sage, and make is a woman. that's impressive because her family is conservative. that will be. that's

why i appreciate to nice me. i appreciate the slowly but surely tends in helps change opinions of those around town. madam i run challenging race is because i like choosing the difficult pulse. i know what i'm capable of and that i have the potential for even more the, the main challenge is coming up the sturdy media and i couldn't really train for this race. you may not have pulled a muscle 3 months ago. the men of it, it was the same story with another recent mattress on that i couldn't properly prepared for attendance. give you the little be, you know, if it's just the

10s in sponsored racing as an outlet for herself. her running has become a challenge and an inspiration to many around 10 minutes of course, via giving a ha. some people are happy with me. i knew they were inspired by my story and think i'm doing something meaningful. 8, the negative love is that critical asking me what i'm busting my next for some people even say to my face, what happened to you running isn't know, move forth and cool me crazy. so they say all i do is run into, into golf, to my family and me. so let's see if i may make messages, but i want to send a message to all the goals out there. if i can run mike hon, who would you be? i will always maintain that women have their own passion,

which they should proceed. they shouldn't be limited, the tools will be suppressed by expectations, and that's why don't give up even when things get rough. i want to give up on my passion. i don't, nobody informed me, it is totally a thoughts winning the by we say never giving us the most exciting thoughts. stories about people's passions like every weekend on d. w. but you will be, we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a, getting
