Author Matt McCue, a CU Buff runner, be speaking at Runner’s Roost in Lakewood at 6 pm on Monday, Oct. 19. Matt’s story is two stories wrapped into one, the first is of a young man who chases his dream of leaving small school Iowa to walk on to the Colorado Buffalo cross country team. The second is the importance of the coaches who influence him along his journey. I am the young man and my coaches were Coach Wetmore and the lesser known Coach Brown from Iowa City Regina. It’s a story of chasing dreams, overcoming obstacles, not giving up,and the importance of mentors.
An Honorable Run has been covered by both Sports Illustrated and Runner’s World. Coach Jay Johnson gave it a great bump on his site. An excerpt of it was posted on Dye Stat. Or, read the review from The Armory Track in New York.
