Who am I?

I ask myself, who am I, what do I want to do, and what do I care about, all the time. This probably isn’t uncommon or unique, as most of us probably are trying to seek greater understanding of the world and our lives. Anyways, I am Matthew, a current graduate student, furthering my education in engineering. I first started lifting in 2009 and studied fitness for fun since around 2012 [unfortunately, my genetics and eating habits restrict my “gains”, but I’ll talk about that later]. Also, I have been a “long distance” runner since 2010. Although, my love for running truly started in 2014.

So, if you’ve stumbled upon this blog, I assume you already have some answers for these questions. If you are a person on a fitness journey of self improvement, who strives to be healthier, and “enjoys” the work that we call exercise, this is a place for you.

This is a place that I will record my own thoughts and notes. I’ll post notes regarding: running, power lifting, mobility, recovery, nutrition, weight-gain, weight-loss, and other random thoughts. To be honest, this blog is simply to retain my thoughts and notes that I gather.

: a long-distance runner, planning on running more marathons and ultra-marathons. Despite being slow, I love the challenge, problem-solving, and the adventure related to the trail running. Also, I have been lifting since being a prepubescent child. Unfortunately, my current eating habits, my counter-productive love for running and powerlifting, and small-bodied genetics limit my growth and inprovement. On this page, you'll see my thoughts, ideas, and feelings regarding health-nutrition-fitness... essentially my journey as I try to puzzle together eating enough nutrients, training for my races, and trying to lift more weights.
