very cool that you got a mention there, but the review of your blog was confusing, and poorly done. seems that the reviewer mixed your blog with several others from the rbf and generalized quite a bit. you mentioned that the guy that contacted you was an intern? must have been the same guy that wrote the piece.

No surprise there RBFather! ;) Mark you and your blog make a contribution to the running community in a tremendous way by my account and certainly many others. The wonderful point is that you have your name in ‘online’ lights and your message and example are out there very strongly and clearly. Beijos and Congratulations!!

Congratulations, Mark – although I think he actually reviewed your RBF pages. Still, this (weird) method of linking should get a lot of people reading about Pose, barefoot running, et cetera! Its still a pretty cool event.

Congrats, Mark! They chose well. :)

I will echo Jeff’s comments that the guy didn’t understand what was going on at the site. Its almost like he didn’t understand that the links in the RBF list were to other blogs. Does he spend much time on the web? And his comment about the map was kinda silly because its obviously not updated, especially when you look at the giant list of bloggers.

Sigh. Media.

Very good news though, Mark! Its nice to get recognition for hard work, both personally and on the blog itself. :)

Great to have this exposure, but yes … the writer could’ve used an orientation. Congratulations on your name in lights! :)

So, if you’re in Forbes that means you’re like, a millionaire. Right?
