Q: You must choose 1 and why. 1. Give up drinking and you will never get injured again. 2. Give up running and all your drinks are free for the rest of your life?

A: What a bummer way to start this off I guess I would have to give up drinking, not because I want to and not because I want to give up on all injuries. "I don't ever want to stop running."  Although I despise being injured A little pain both physical and emotional is good for the body once in awhile, it helps you appreciate the things you have and not take for granted the abilities you are given.

Q: Stupidest thing you have ever done?

A: I'm sure I've done dumber things but the first thing that comes to mind is trying to walk home from Tijuana when I was maybe 19 or 20.  Somehow I lost my friends in Mexico and decided walk back across the boarder to the car and wait for them.  I have no clue how I even got the boarder but I remember hoping a big fence. I couldn't find the car so i made the logical decision to keep walking towards Los Angeles roughly 136 miles from TJ.  I had no clue how to get there I just kept going.  I vaguely remember walking through some suburban neighborhoods and when I hit a dead end I would hop a fence. (real smart huh?) I stopped doing that when few dogs tried to eat me.  Eventually I made it to downtown San Diego.  I gave up on my hike and bought a Bus ticket to L.A. with my last $20.

Drunk and clueless I wanted to talk to her.  She was smoking so I asked if she had an extra cigarette to strike up on conversation.  I think she was probably eastern eruopean and barely spoke a lick of English. She handed me a giant pink twig of cig which made me feel real cool.  So now I'm smoking this girlie cigarette the girl has no idea what I'm saying and then some big buff dude comes out of nowhere.  He says a few words to her in the same foreign dialect gives me the stick eye.   I got the hell out of there before I got my ass kicked. Pretty tame I know but nothing else came to mind. by the way that's the only cig I've smoked since turning 18

Q: you said that you hate Vibram Cherry for huaraches. Can you say why? I'm just curious?

A; My favorite thing about a luna sandal is the way it molds to your foot! The sandal takes on yout personal cotours and often you can identify your own unique print from both the top and the bottom of the sandal.The vibram cherry does not do this at all. The cherry material too rubbery, it makes a slapping sound when it hit's the ground, and generally feels terrible on my feet compared to the neoprene.

Q: For running, would you still recommend the 6mm Vibram neoprene and the suede top (for reference, I mostly do road running)? What about the laces?

A: Deffinetly it is by far the best running sandal on the market!!  As for elastic laces they are good for running but not good for testing the limits of the sandal in regards to speed turning. For racing I use thin leather luna laces and for everyday use I use elastic.  As for the Invisible shoes laces I find it to be a bit too thin for my liking and much less aesthetically pleasing.


Q: Did you ever do the 1 mile, 1 taco, 1 beer challenge that you described in the Birthday Shoes interview? If so, how did it go?
