Hey all,
I know I've been MIA for a very long time, but this news may be relevant to some of you that were around back in the RWOL days. Matthew Courtright, who participated in a few of our discussions back in the day, died in an work-related accident today. He was a Michigan native that attended our attempted "World's Largest Barefoot Run" years ago, was a student of Barefoot Huang's in GA, and had been working as the master brewer at Stone Brewery near San Diego.
I had only met him once and we had a conversation that lasted mere minutes, but I got to know him a little better via Facebook. I think a few people here may remember him from his barefoot interest back in the day.
We often talk about barefoot running and how it changes our lives, but we usually focus on ourselves. This event made me really appreciate something I sometimes forget- barefoot running has connected a lot of wonderful people in a way that otherwise would not have been possible. The connection to Matt, however small, was still significant because of this interest we shared.
