Quite a feet: Oregon man runs 102 miles barefoot

[June 09, 2010]  TALENT, Ore. (AP) -- Todd Ragsdale enjoyed a peppermint mineral foot soak while relaxing at home Monday.

It was well deserved after running a world-record distance without shoes over the weekend. Between 8 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday, the 41-year-old logged 102 miles barefoot -- 413 laps on the South Medford High School track.

Ragsdale made his run in the Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

The run left Ragsdale's feet bruised, blistered and swollen, but he said it was well worth it.
