Obligatory plug for Chris McDougall's great book _Born To Run_:

Fascinating story. One of this book's main characters, Micah True aka Caballo Blanco, died last week on a remote Western wilderness run. Don't know if he had his boots on. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hZ-OB7jl7Y...

That is so sad :( I feel like I should say thanks because I probably wouldn't have found out about it any other way.

RIP Caballo Blanco. Chris Mcdougal's tweet gives a fitting tribute to him, from his id @McDougallChris :

"caballo had the only funeral he would have wanted: his friends spent days running in the wilderness in his honor."

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know he had a TED talk.
