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.

A little barefootin’

Connor and I met at his dorm to embark on a midnight, barefoot run. I gifted him my Luna Sandals that I just never got into on his birthday - February 14th.

The night was warm, as it recently has been, warming up the ground to allow me to more comfortably strike my naked feet. I did most of the talking, informing him about barefoot running since he told me a friend of his was against it. I felt it was important for him to know this stuff if he is to get into it since people will challenge him on it.

We took a beautiful, night tour of JMU’s well-adorned campus while exercising our minds, bodies, and souls. We also reinforced our connection as friends, as brothers, as one.

Happy running everyone, and namaste :)
