World Champion Record 450 Miles – 108 Hours. Harvey Lewis, 47 at Big’s Backyard World Championship Race.
“A race is a work of art…” ~ Steve Prefontaine Oct. 30, 2023 Steve Prefontaine’s words applied equally to Lazarus Lake’s race idea that he thought up decades ago as it did to vegan runner Harvey Lewis’s performance! The race concept is brilliantly diabolical and attracts the best of the best. For this race, Harvey […]
100 Ideas to Improve Your Life Daily
March 25, 2023 Years ago I recorded a fun video, titled “100 reasons to Run 100 Miles”. I love the distance for many reasons, clearly.

Honored to be a guest on Steven Sashen’s Movement Movement Podcast.
March 15, 2023. Having known Steven Sashen from a distance since 2010 when he started a kit sandal business from their apartment in Colorado, I was confident he’d keep me guessing as to where the conversation might go on this podcast. Steven’s the guy who’s video on YouTube, “Sh*t Barefoot Runner’s Say” went viral back […]
Spring ’23 Xero Shoe Reviews For Sunrise, Scrambler, Prio Neo and Dillon
March 14, 2023 It’s better than Christmas when a big box of Xero “wear tester” models comes to our porch! I receive amazing products and do not need to shop for days guessing what others might like or need, no need to decorate the house, etc. The challenge is to wear all of them enough […]
New for Fall ’22. The Xero Forza Trainer. Weight Lifters, Cross Fitters, etc. Best in Class Option.
Nov. 17, 2022 The Forza Trainer is incredibly comfortable and has a very secure feel. You’ll want this, fair warning! I’m not a gym rat type and would be wise to add more “strength training”. Mostly I run, and do lots of projects. If I’m working on the house, yard etc., I try to do […]
Xero’s new Forza Runner for Fall ’22
Nov. 17, 2022. The Forza is super light, and crazy, crazy comfortable. I quickly got used to slipping them on my feet, which takes a bit more focus. I keep the laces very loose, and wonder if I need laces at all! But, I don’t want to create the work of rethreading them to try […]
Xero Mesa II Minimalist Trail Running Shoe.
November 17, 2022 Redesigned for Fall 2022, this is a great, lightweight, truly minimalist trail running shoe with excellent comfort and ventilation. I had the original Mesa in my standard size.

Ten New Videos in Ten Days
February 3, 2022 Recently life got so busy and I didn’t get around to creating any new video content for five months. Winter in Ohio gave me a slower period in training and a break in projects, holidays, gatherings, races, etc. The first video on day one of the video per day for ten days […]
Confessions of a Post Cancer Bare Toes Minimalist Vegan Virgo Ultra Runner.
February 1, 2022 Big lies. So many. Lies. What if I told you our lives and our economy are built on a generations long pile of lies? Might I be correct? “A ‘mass psychosis’ is an epidemic of madness, and it occurs when a large portion of society loses touch with reality and descends into […]
