Matt shares his vision for change, life, and love through running. Caring for the planet and running for change is the name of his game -- be it through his ongoing run project Run For One Planet, Vancouver’s Grouse Grind, multiple marathons (last count is 250) or just down the block. Running is Matt’s meditation, inspiration, and religion.

What’s he focusing on in the new year? Goals, not resolutions.

Matt's BHAG (big, hairy, audacious goal) in 2011 is to guide his community into a powerful 2011. How? Through Kitsilano’s first BHAG running clinic, which is more than just a way to help runners cross the finish line at this year’s BMO Vancouver Marathon. While that finish line is the BHAG of many, what Matt and the team at West 4th are really excited about is creating a program of possibility. By combining run, yoga, nutrition, and holistic health, Matt is set on helping his runners tap into their 2011 BHAGs.

What’s your 2011 BHAG? You don’t need to be in Kitsilano to have one, or to use running as a means of motivation and meditation. Look up a running clinic near you, and move powerfully into what looks to be like a Big, Hairy, Audacious New Year.

Interested in joining the W. 4th run clinic? Contact the team at west4th-store@lululemon.com and meet Matt on January 19th, 2011 for the first run of the year.
