Posted on 03/28/2011 by Mike N

The thrill of victory! The agony of de-feet! After a week of voting, we have found two pairs of feet that have proven to be the ugliest in dailymile history. Our runner up is Curt Fischer! Curt’s feet have been through a lot to bring him the glory of getting second place in our first ever Ugly Foot contest. Congratulations, Curt! At the end of the day it was Jodie Borgerding’s husband who was crowned king of podiatric homeliness. Jodie … Continue reading →

The theme for last week here on the dailymile Blog was barefoot running. It’s odd, therefore, that my initial thought was to write a post reviewing my recent experience with four minimalist trail shoes. In mulling things over, I decided to switch things up a bit and write a post that is more true to the theme of the week. Barefoot running does not involve running in shoes.

The race itself is 51 miles (47 prior to 2010) starting at the small town of Urique in the … Continue reading →

Run light and smooth: an interview with “Born to Run” star, Caballo Blanco

When Logan H. (aka Unarunner) first approached me about doing an interview with Caballo Blanco I thought, “how the hell am I gonna find that guy, didn’t it take months for Chris McDougall to find him?” I voiced my concern to Logan and he replied, “isn’t that what Facebook is for?” And wouldn’t ya know it, Caballo Blanco and I became fast Facebook friends.
