About

Welcome to Participation Trophy Runners. My name is Matt, and I like to run. My friends and I indulge in local road races/cycling events/mini-triathlons. A contingent of my family has made it a goal to run a 10k in every state of the union. There is no particular timeline on that goal, but it seems to take the shape of one or two out of state events per year. This is my attempt to chronicle our exploits and provide some interesting insights into amateur endurance sports. I have no particular expertise in running technique, but I am learning and making improvements to maximize each experience. Our attitude is a relaxed one; we do our best, but at the end of the day are just as excited with a rewarding meal as with our finishing times. So read along if that sounds of interest to you!
