Andrew Skurka, the enlightened outdoor adventurer, was on the show today. He's in town as a guest of GoLite for the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. His claim to fame: being the first person to walk the nearly 7,000-mile-long Great Western Loop. While the scenery was beautiful and he talked about that, the most interesting thing to me was ... any blisters? The man said no, no moleskin necessary. He did say he went through a pair of shoes about every 10 days, and he lived on protein bars. What, hiking 40 miles in a day a little tiring? Click here for the Midday Metro podcast.
