My Steaz: Matthew Smith

I never imagined myself ever becoming an athlete, let alone a runner. I went into the sport not knowing what to expect but it surely expected a lot from me. During my first year running I made the cross country varsity team and by the next season I went from being 5th on the team to having the team's fastest time. Running has become a lot more than just a race though, it has become a form of meditation. Every run allows my mind to go blank and I feel balanced not only between my mind and body, but with the earth as well. The top 10 videos will be announced on Monday June 11th.
