I run. I am a runner. At least I think of myself as a runner. I am also a husband, a father of two, a cartographer/computer programmer and many other things. But my running defines me more than anything else. It is more personal, is the most me. It is about how I relate to myself. I run.
Want a coach? I’ve got one to recommend (me, if you’re wondering).

Hey Matt!
Thanx so much for the affirmation! I really get caught up in this thing because “others” said I could/wanted me to. I can’t believe I was being so hypocritical by going for the idea(or looking for approval)? Any way it’s becoming clearer and clearer that I should when, where, and how far I want, because it’s the run that I love, and the clarity and connection with myself that I get from it….I’m going to start reading your blog, sounds like we may think alike as well. Nice to meet you, hope I can call you friend…
Just Norm
P.S. Please excuse the raw unstructured nature of my pod cast, I’m just starting, and it’s an evolving work of progress
Hi there! Love it when I see someone dedicated to running and their blog — awesome! Anyway, I’m contacting you and other runners to help promote the 13.1 Minneapolis race on Aug. 21st. There’s basically 2 reasons why I’m reaching out and both are great: the first is because I have discounted and freebie registrations to you and your readers/subscribers. The other is because I’m looking for great triumph stories of 13.1 racers. If you or anyone you know has overcome a hardship or hurdle to run the race, I want to know! Please contact me for more details and run hard!
