My name is Matthew and I love, love, love, love, love running (the verb and the gerund). Everything to do with it, I love. The painful feeling of being drained, the heightened endorphins, the training, the coaching, the racing, and the gear (Short shorts or gtfo). I did XC and track year round for 3 years in H.S., and now I'm just running freely in college. I ran my first ultra (50k) February 2012 and it was FANTASTIC. I'll definitely do more in the future.

I'm also a vegetarian wanting to go vegan eventually.

Besides running, I love oreos, water, movies, reading, hanging out with my friends, chips ahoy, feeling clean, going shirtless around the house, colorful things, etc.

I AM IMPATIENT.

Fewer things more annoying that waiting for my Garmin to locate. I swear, it sometimes even goes backwards! Anyone else have this issue? Am I just doing it all wrong? 

Roselyn goes backwards allll the time. I just turn her off and on until she submits. It’s 10x worse in the cold too because you aren’t even warmed up. But, you could do a little warm-up while the watch acquires satellites.
