“Run Ashten Run!!” yelled Dylan. It was just your average Saturday night and all my cousins came over while our parents went out for dinner for Angie’s birthday. The seven oldest kids were babysitting and they decided we should play kickball outside in the dark. Of course most kids wanted to play, but the two youngest cousins, Drew and Ava, decided to stay inside alone and watch tv and eat snacks. I quickly made a bag of microwave popcorn, gave it to the girls and rushed outside so I didn’t miss my turn to kick.
We were about two innings into our kickball game the score was twelve to ten. Kreyton was bragging to his older brother, Kobe, that his team was winning. Kobe started yelling and kicking Kreyton.

McDougall recorded his expedition to answer his question in his book, Born to Run, which he uses to encourage people to run. Born to Run, after becoming a bestseller, decided to be made into a movie.

Viewing this specific contention through the context of Sophocles’ Oedipus the King and Tom Tykwer’s thriller Run Lola Run we can speculate about the role of determinism and free will in our lives.
