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.

Barefoot Running Study at my school!

fkjhsdflahjsdfg I AM SO EXCITE!

Ok, so I saw a flyer on a bulletin board advertising a film showing of a documentary about North Korea. There is this club called LINK that is all about raising awareness about N.K., and I really wanna see that. I’ve seen a few docus on it, and it interests me to no end.

THEN I saw a flyer asking for participants in a study about barefoot and minimalist running. I IMMEDIATELY ripped a strip off with names and emails of who to contact, and giddily walked to my dorm. I was biting my lip, laughing, and doing weird shit as I was super excited for such an opportunity. AT MY OWN SCHOOL! What are the chances? High you say? Well fuck you. I eat this shit up. Anyway, I emailed both the people and I EAGERLY await their reply.

IF I COULD DO THIS THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND IT WOULD BE SUCH AN AMAZING THING TO HAVE IN MY LIFE AND I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE TO DO SUCH A THING AND I WANT TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN A STUDY THAT I CARE ABOUT AND LOVE SO MUCH AND I WANT TO BE A RAT OF SCIENCE YOU CAN PRICK ME BURN ME AND RUN ME TO DEATH FOR SCIENCE!!!
