About Me
I’m Matt.
I’m a 46 year old guy from Sydney, Australia who works full time and loves to spend time running and also building websites on the internet, often late at night..
I consider myself to be a very lucky guy.
I’m not making a living online, I don’t drive a fancy car, and I’m not a millionaire.
What I do have is a beautiful wife, and three awesome kids, a loving family, and a line of work that allows me to spend good quality time with them.
My Story
As a kid growing up in Sydney I didn’t play a lot of sport, I couldn’t really as I always seemed to be sick with my asthma.
By the time I reached my mid teens I was overweight, unhealthy and feeling pretty low. I needed to do something, life was too short.
Then one night sitting in my room, I saw something that that seemed to give me hope.
It was a pair of joggers. They had been given to me a few months ago. I remember thinking ”what am I going to do with these”
Well the very next day I tried them on and to my surprise, they fit like a glove. I’ve been running ever since.
I now run 1 – 2 marathons every year and run at least 3 – 4 days every week. Running has been great for me, it really suits my lifestyle. It does drive my wife a little crazy every now and then but she supports me 100%.
My kids are growing up with a real interest in sport and wanting to live a healthy lifestyle.
I hope I’m still running when I am 76 years old.

If you’re new to running or you’ve just come back to it, I hope you find as much joy from it as I do.
