I finished Matt McCue’s new book, An Honorable Run, the other night. It’s cliche, but I laughed and I cried. While this book chronicles Matt’s HS and collegiate running careers, the story focused primarily on his relationship with his high school coach, Bob Brown, and secondarily on his college coach, Mark Wetmore. A quick read and one that I very much enjoyed.
I was an assistant coach at CU during all but one of years chronicled in the book. There was a mischievousness to Matt’s smile that I can see as I write this – a twinkle that took me a while to appreciate because as an athlete he was extremely focused, as good of a grinder as there’s been at CU. A tough young man, but also an budding intellectual and a foodie.
You can check out his web site here and you can buy his book, helping a young writer make his mark in the big city.
Good luck Matt!
