It was a Thursday night when Maria "Gina" Natero-Armenta went for her usual ultrarun with Brother-In-Law "Fidel Diaz". Just another run she said. Except she didnt bring a Gps, or cellphone. Didnt eat hardly anything except a fourth of an apple. Just a normal night run in the woods of california. She goes running and feels sick. Decides "What the hell! Diaz is sick and still running, why cant I be"? Decides that she should slow down on a hill and then sure enough. She lost him. For three days. Without water or food. And only one kidney. Maria really got herself trapped this time.
Those were the basic readings from CNN's Article on Maria "Gina" Natero-Armenta. The lady who lost herself in the woods for three days. Humanity has really been pitiful with our self idealism that we can handle anything without common necesities such as a cellphone, or even food. If you ask me. Its been created for a reason. Have it on you at all times. Can anyone blame "Gina" though? I mean she is a runner who does 50 mile races or even 100 miles if she gets into it but a simple 7 mile "Jog" got her sick and then abruptley finding herself lost in the forest with no food, or water. Why is humanity so stupid at times? Why do we miss the signs that we should watch for? This story creates the simplest article headline. Its so catchy to "Running ahead of ourselves" She would have been fine if it werent for the Idea that she could have stopped and told Diaz that she felt sick. She just wanted to run with the big dogs. I mean dont we all?
