Barefoot jogger starts epic Transamerican run

[Still Waters]

His name hints of an unconventional origin and his next journey reveals his desire in doing things "differently":

So differently that Joseph Michael Liu Kai-Tsu Roqueni, 32, plans to run barefoot from Canada to Argentina in 18 months.

The "Chexican" -- as he describes himself because of his Chinese, Mexican and Canadian roots -- departed Montreal on July 2 and will cross 14 countries all the way down to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, known as the southernmost city in the world.

All I can say is good luck and watch your step.

Yes, he needs to watch out for bits of broken glass. But he has his sandals so...wow, what a very long run, with or without footwear. Up in the mountains by himself. Best of luck to him, I hope he fulfills his dream.

He should wear his slippers. You can run like the wind in your slippers, in my experience.
