Matt Tries to Write a Novel

I am attempting to write a novel. Here I'll post the story as it comes, as well as some of my thoughts regarding the experience. Enjoy the ride, and offer feedback, please.

running

I've listed running in my interests, so I thought I might say something about it.
I'm a fat runner right now. I probably average about 7 miles a week. I just ran 2.25...wow.
But, I've been a decent runner before. Ran Cross-Country as a soph in HS and a sr in College.
PRs : 5k = 18:00 and 8k=approx 31:20 and 10k (I've only run one) is 35:something

I hope to break all of those in the next year or so, but I need someone or even a small team to run with. I'm thinking about joining the running club at Tulane. Might be a good thing on multiple levels.

Anyway, my biggest goal is to run (at least 2 miles) in all 50 states. It's going to be a challenge, but here's what I've got so far:
Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Missourri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, California, Wisconsin.
I think that's it. Currently at 11 out of 50. Just 39 to go!

    First, I'm curious as to who you might be. You're free to post comments anonymously, (but I might change that...hmm...) however I'm interested in knowing who's talking back to me. Cheers!

    Fat runner is no specialist' slang that I know of, it just means that I'm carrying a good 10-12lbs of extra chunkiness on my body, and that I'm not too fast right now.

    hahahahhahahaahha

    I really don't like that it post the time you write something.
    And the truth is I am too lazy to create an account on this stupid thing. I would rather be unknown

    Is your inspiration Forrest Gump? If so you should consider facial hair and Nike running shoes. You already have a wife named Jenny, might as well go all the way! Fat runner...i guess I'm a fat runner :( Thanks alot!!!
