WAY TO GO MATT

SO I START RUNNING WITH MY LONGTIME PAL MATT. THIS STARTED ROUND ABOUT...OH, LAST OCTOBER NOVEMBER SOMETIME. I LIKE RUNNING WITH MATT BECAUSE LIKE MYSELF, HE IS A LARGE INDIVIDUAL. I DON'T LOOK SO LARGE STANDING NEXT TO HIM. I HOPE HE FEELS THE SAME WAY. ANYHOO HE SAYS TO ME..."JUSTIN HOW ABOUT RUNNING IN THAT TURKEY TROT THING ON THANKSGIVING". OR MAYBE I ASKED HIM. I DON'T REMEMBER. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE DID IT AND WE DIDN'T FINISH DEAD LAST. I SEEM TO REMEMBER SOME OCTOGENARIAN AHEAD OF US FOR AN UNCOMFORTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. SO WE CONTINUED RUNNING AFTER THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS. THEN MATT DROPS THE BOMB. "I'M STARTING A WEBSITE CALLED IRUNWITHTHEBIGDOGS.COM TO TRACK OUR PROGRESS". MATT IS A BUSY GUY. SURLY HE WOULDN'T HAVE TIME TO DO THIS WITH THE THREE KIDS, THE JOB ET CETERA. I HOPED HE WOULDN'T HAVE TIME. IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU MIGHT BE SAYING TO YOURSELF..."SELF, WHY WOULD JUSTIN SAY THAT. THEY HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME AND JUST WHY WOULD HE JUST SAY A THING LIKE THAT. IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE". WELL I'LL TELLS YOU WHY. NOW I HAVE TO DO THIS. NOW IF I WANT CASUALLY DWINDLE DOWN MY RUNNING TIME TO SAY...I DON'T KNOW NEGATIVE TWO MILES A WEEK...I CAN NOT. NOW PROGRESS IS BEING RECORDED. GREAT, ACCOUNTABILITY. MY ARCH NEMESIS. WITH A PICTURE OF ME BEING ALL FAT AND RUNNING. SO I HAVE TO PUT A PICTURE OF ME UP THAT'S NOT SO PUDGY. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO RUN AND RUN AND RUN AND RUN...YOU GET THE IDEA. SO HERE'S TO YOU MATT. LET'S RUN THE RACES AND MAKE THE FACES AND CHART THE PLACES. LETS DO THIS. I'M COOL WITH IT. I HOWEVER CAST MY DOUBTS ON A HALF MARTHON BY FEBUARY. WE'LL SEE.
