Good Bad & The Monkey
It is about a tribe of distance runners who live hidden in rural Mexico's Copper Canyon, and what they have to teach us (besides running barefoot). Still in it, but the whole description of the Leadville Trail 100 miler got me pumped up...
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Just ordered it, if it stinks, i'm sending you the bill. jk. did you read Yasso's book? Fun stories in there.
I've heard it's a good book... need to check out. El Caballo Blanco is local here in our trail running group... seems like a nice, but eccentric, guy.

This video goes along with that idea that we are "Born to Run":

Yeah. Running is stupid. Runners do stupid things. Like run in the dark. Or run until they break. Running is stupid.

Bart's book (My Life on the Run) is hilarious. I'm amazed at how Born To Run is kind of blowing up right now. It's on the overall top 100 list on Amazon. Wild.
One thing about that ... I wonder if it's going to spur a lot of people going out to try barefoot running, which could result in a lot of injured people if it's not done patiently ....
