Name: Matthew Herald
City/Town: Fort Wayne, Ind.
Year of first #IndyMini: 2015
Q: What is your favorite #IndyMini Memory?
Kissing the bricks for the very first time.
Q: Who or what motivates you the most during training?
The goals I set for myself. I was out of shape and lazy for most of my life. Once I made that decision that enough was enough and turned my life around, I have set goals for myself to push my body. Every time I hit a goal, I am amazed that my body can do these things, so I immediately set a new goal because I want to know everything that this body can accomplish.
Q: What advice do you have for people considering running the #IndyMini for the first time?
No one says that you have to RUN the whole thing. Just complete it at your own pace. If you can run, then run. If you can walk, then walk. Just make sure that you keep going forward and that you cross the finish line.
Q: What’s your favorite song to listen to when running?
Sabotage by The Beastie Boys
Q: If you were stranded on an island (and had everything necessary to survive), which three items would you also like to have with you?
A recliner, the Stephen King library and a fishing pole (hey, I love sushi!).
