Lake Minnetonka Next Stop on 'Naked Tour 2011'

'Born to Run' is up two spots this week to No. 6 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Christopher McDougall, author of the New York Times bestselling book "Born to Run," brings his "Naked Tour 2011" to the Wayzata area this weekend.

Entering its eighth week on the New York Times bestseller list in the paperback non-fiction category, "Born to Run" is also among the top-25 sellers in the combined print and e-book category.

The book explores the innate—though too often untapped—ability of humans to run long distances and how mankind's hard-wiring makes them "born to run." A full description of the book can be found here.
