Riding the wind.
Just ordered this movie about utra-runner Anton Krupicka (Cru-pitch-kah). This 24 year old regularly run 180-200 miles per week in the colorado mountains; many of those barefoot. He has never lost a race over 50 miles, and beat Dean Karnazes by over 7 hours in the only 100 mile race they've both been in.
I can't wait for June 28th and see how he does in the WS 100 against the top runners. (read the article below to understand, and his race report his qualifying race: American River 50.
I've wanted to buy it for a several weeks now, and finally decided to splurge on the $24 it'll cost me to get it.
Click HERE a great article on Anton. (Thank you, Brownie for sharing.)

I got turned onto this guy from a previous post on your blog. Unf*cking believable. This guy can't be human.
I want first on the list to borrow it since a certain Colorado a-hole has not sent me a copy yet!
Damn, I coulda burned you a copy! Tony sees none of that money by the way.
He just won Zane Grey, running 8:02 on what he considered a bad day.
By the way, most of the trails in the movie are runnable from my front porch!
