Personal:
Hi, my name is Matt and I love to run! I especially enjoy trail running. I am married to Susie and we have six children Connor-10, Jed-8, Jaxine-7, Evan-4, Eliza-2, and Susanna-0. Look for me at your next race, I wear the same bright yellow Twinkies shirt at all my races.
Favorite Course: Mid-Mountain Marathon, Park City, Utah
Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Today was a great success for my running career. Not because of the run, but because I made it back on Burt's Favorite Blogs list.
Thanks Burt.

I was taken off his list because I didn't run or blog for about four months while I was trying to get control of my health.

Trying to get control of your health? What happened? Well, at least you had a reason to be taken off....I am still waiting to hear why I was taken off! ha!

It's a long story, but here's the short version. I have had arthritis for the last 13 years. Last October, it took an ugly turn that prevented me from running. At times, I even had a difficult time walking. I think that I have it back under control now and am running again.

WOW! I never would have guessed it! I've had a similar thing with MS. October I thought I was having a turn for the worse too, but ended up being okay. Darn auto-immune diseases! Glad you are back at it and feeling better. Sure makes you appreciate the good days of being in shape and out running!

LOL! Steam8, you were taken off because I was taken off yours!
Twinkies was taken off because of my no blogging for a month rule :)
