Matt won the Maui Marathon this weekend! Amazing for so many reasons. For one thing, he had just won a 5K race the day before. For another, he had trained for and planned to enter the half marathon until about 5pm the evening before when he switched to the full after learning a Beijing Olympian was planning to run the half. Since he was hoping for some sweet prize money, he decided to try for the full, and won $500! Plus $250 for the 5K! Great job Matt!
I think Nate somehow knows what happened, because when we got home last night, all he wanted to do was run sprints across the living room. We say, "ready, set, go!" and he takes off across the room, then we erupt in wild cheering when he gets to the other end. He turns around, and waits for the "go!" again for his next pass. I think he might be just like his daddy.

ReplyDeleteThat was an amazing weekend. I enjoyed the article and it corrected some details I had confused after a phone call from your Mom. You are an amazing runner, Matt. Glad you won some cold cash! Happy to hear the next generation already has a fanatic to pass the baton to:) How cute of Nate to run at 1-2-3 GO!!
