I run marathons in a full-length Batman cape. I have the Batman logo tattooed on my wrist. The only woman I’d ever hook up with is Catwoman. I own every Batman movie ever made — even “Batman & Robin.” My alter ego’s name is Mattman. I collect Batman comics. I even have full costumes of […]

I tried to qualify for Boston when I ran the St. George Marathon in 2012, and I just missed the qualifying time—by about two hours. The Internet is drenched […]
