RIP Micah True: Run Free, Man
Tribute by Brian Metzler, Running Times
“I don't want anyone to do anything except come run, party, dance, eat and hang with us. Running isn't about making people buy stuff. Running should be free, man." — Micah True, as quoted in Born to Run
In attempt to find consolation amid grief, many people have been saying that ultrarunner Micah True died doing what he loved to do most. That’s correct, but in reality, he lived most of his life doing what he enjoyed most and on his own terms, not just the final moment.
What else could anyone want said about themselves posthumously?
