Description

Matt Martinez was one of my running buddies when I lived in the Rio Grande Valley. He is 55, more of a road runner and doesn't aspire to run beyond 25K - ever. And that's OK. I think too often we pressure ourselves into aspiring to crazy distances or paces.

Matt doesn't do that. He gets the run-life balance.

We used to call him "Mr. Selfie" because he would post , um, selfies on Facebook after his runs. He also nicknamed our friend, Tanya, as "Tanya One More Hill" because she always wanted to push the limit.

Here is a nice convo with a guy with average (read: normal) goals.
