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.

Eat. Run. Sleep. Repeat.: Marathon Recap!! »

beautifulday4running:

Generic title: My First Marathon
More accurate subtitle: From here it can only get better, right?

My first impression of Texas was, “Does that guy really have a legit, old-fashioned, wood-handled, revolver strapped to his hip??”

And the answer, holding true to the Texas stereotype, was yes….

Definitely check this out you all. This girl is awesome and had such a great marathon experience!
