    RIP Micah True

    Micah "Caballo Blanco" True had been missing since Tuesday and, sadly, his body was found yesterday. Sad times.

    yeah just read this on twitter:

    Chris McDougall@McDougallChriscaballo had the only funeral he would have wanted: his friends spent days running in the wilderness in his honor.

    That is sad. He was an inspiring runner.

    Re: RIP Micah True

    This is really sad news. I knew Micah briefly. He stayed with me when he gave a talk in Chester last summer about his life, running and the Raramuri people. He was a very individual man who certainly lived his life his own way. When he stayed with me we found a lot in common but that I would never have the courage to up sticks that way and just run and live in the mountains. He did a lot for the Raramuri indians and lived his life by his own values. I had planned to travel to Mexico next March to see him again and run in his Copper canyon race. I regret, now, not having done it this year.

    was really saddened to hear this news. I went to hear him speak when he came to Chester and, like many others found him very inspirational. Sad times.

    Really shocked to read this earlier today. The McDougall book is truly inspiring and Micah's life even more so. Caught him on his speaking tour last summer in York - really down to earth; rejected all the commercialisation and profiteering by those who wanted to cash-in on his story and the lives of those he loved and respected. A man who truly loved the simplicity of life and the simplicity of running.
