Picture from mile 20 of the run

My teammate Jen's mom snapped this picture of me from the run. Hopefully, the Ironman CDA posts race pictures and video soon.

Wow, Matt you are looking HOT these days!

Hi, Matt! I loved you on the D-LIST, and I still do.
It's amazing how judgmental and cruel people can be when they don't know what the hell they're talking about. I'm astounded at the number of people who have apparently led spotless and virtuous lives!
How nice it must be to freely and with a clear conscience sling judgement at those who are merely perceived to have done wrong!
These veritable saints don't have the slightest bit of a clue as to what really happened, but oh my.
Aren't they quick with the verbal stones?

Enough about the slandering idiots. I'm a gay male who loves Kathy, I love you as well, and I'll continue to watch the show even though you won't be there anymore.
And colleent is absolutely correct when she says that you're hot. The beard is nice. Good luck and keep that chin up.

I agree--totally hot and good for you. I only run when I'm being chased, and I admire people who put in the work to do this sort of thing. Congrats.

WOW! As Freddie Prinze would say (c'mon someone here besides me remembers the dad!) Loookin' gooood! I never thought exercising can look that good. Hm, maybe I should try it sometime. Matt, can ya teach me? ;-)

Hey Matt,

Long time no see -- I stumbled across your blog and thought I should say hi -- it's Kendra (married to Josh; friends of Dave and Katie). I know it's been a wild year for you, but you seem incredibly happy and energized. I admire your tenacity.

Josh and I are doing well. Our 30 second bio since we last saw you (at Cole's wedding). We have a two-year-old son, Holden; I'm sure you can guess that we adore him. After graduating from law school in 2003, we worked at big law firms for a few years, and then became law professors last year. We are currently at Penn State Dickinson School of Law, but next week we move to Grand Forks, ND, where we will be teaching at UND Law.

Congrats on the IronMan. That's a huge accomplishment! Good luck with everything and take care.

Best,
Kendra

Kendra,

It's great to hear from you. I'm glad things are going well. Do you mind sending me your contact info to matt@molinesystems.com? I'd love to catch up. Please give my best to Josh and Holden.

you look amazingly spry for mile 20--I'm impressed.

the question is whether you're going to become one of those super-athletes who wears spandex all the time. that would be awesome.

yay, Mattymo!

Hi Matt,
Do you have problems with your knees and back. I used to run but I had to stop because my knees were bothering me and then one day after running and stretching I had severe pain in my back trying to get off the couch. The doctor told me that it was from running, that it is not good for the body. I was crushing the disks in my lower back. Now I use an elliptical maching.

I just wondered if you have any problems, and if you've given any thought to more low-impact workouts.
Thanks,

Hey, Matt, you look GREAT with the beard and 'stache!

Damn! Way to make a comeback! Go, Matt!

The attention you receive is a direct consequence of your x-wife' success. Yet, you pretend to take the 'high road' while allowing an entire forum of people to trash your ex-wife in a forum that she cannot directly respond to.

The higher road would not be staying silent it would be activity discouraging such petty jabs at someone that you spent a great deal of time with and made a serious commitment to.

One thing that I find particularly strange about this blog is how quick some of the regular bloggers are to defend you and insult the authors (in extremely immature ways)of any comments that are not 100% positive. Do they not believe that you are capable of defending yourself?

 
At 4:03 PM, Blogger TinaK said...

Who is this Tai and what are they on?

Read Matt's blog. Ninety percent of it has nothing to do with Kathy G. It's about his triathlon.

You say his ex can't respond. WHAT??? All she has to do is create her own blog page and comment here if she likes. Besides, this not CNN and Larry King. Is it?

And maybe people are defending Matt ON OWN BLOG because outsiders (like yourself) are bringing up personal issues that are really none of your business and really don't belong here. I think the man just wants to do get on with his life. Maybe he makes a comment or two about the past, but Matt is clearly in the present. And he's winning. And, I for one, am rooting for him.

P.S. I found Matt's blog while searching for salad receipes. Go figure. But reading some of his posts have been very helpful to me in my current situation.

I think you should reread your post because it makes very little sense. Also, this is a blog, I would like to believe that there are no 'insiders' or 'outsiders'. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Richard ...

Hmmm... Please follow your own advice. Sorry if what I said offended you enough to respond. But Tai's post made no sense to me-why get nasty on a blog about a triathlon?

I wrote down my opinion -- just like you say everyone is entitled to. As for insiders and outsiders, we are all outsiders to somebody's personal life if we don't know them. I totally agree with arkin1968 post.

tinak and arkin,

I just wanted to let you know that I find your intellect astounding. You really showed those two bloggers. What were they thinking encouraging users of this blog to be more respectful of others and accepting of 'outsiders'. What jerks! But your message really came across.

wow.. some of the women who post on here are really desperados...

as a social scientist, i constantly find it intriguing how some women are drawn to men who they view as "misunderstood" or "rejected" by others (which is exactly why i read this blog)...

the constant need to 'save' a man...to 'really understand him' is rooted in self esteem issues...

it reminds me of women who write to inmates or marry those on death row (not that matt is in that category but none of these women actually know him).

ok... 2cents in.

Social scientist: Are you mistaking me for the "desperado women" you claim are commenting on this site?

If so, your observations are very reckless. Please don't liken me to "women who write to inmates or marry those on death row" or that I have a need to save Matt. He's a big boy I would think he can take care of himself. You don't seem to know where I'm coming from, you just assume. I would have written that comment if Mr. Moline was a woman.

I truely didn't like Tai's post. And was stating an opinion.

I'm of the internet age. I belong to a few internet groups that deal with weight loss and execerise (Body for life tracker.com is one). I write and post to people that I've never met in my life. And I don't think I need to save them.

I admire Matt's change -- he has made a complete 380 in his life -- losing weight and training for a his race. It's hard work, and I know for I'm doing the same thing (sans the triathlon). And I don't think you have to know somebody personally to admire their accomplishments.

Geez! And WE ALL have self-esteem issues, no matter who you are, so what a weird thing to say.

Nice plugs! How'd you pay for those? That 72K you stole must be coming in handy on your road to self-transformation!

Oh arkin1968, thanks for clearing that up! I guess if the money was returned then it doesn't count as being stolen at all! Wow! You ARE really smart!

Get a life loser.

 
At 7:21 AM, Blogger ColleenT said...

This is not a debate forum. Grow up people. and those who have nothing nice to say, GET OUT. you do not belong here on a BLOG. Get a life.

Can't teach you how to become a loser, but I can teach you how to spell JUDGE!!

Look at it however you want, Matt is still a criminal. And I have just as much right as ANYONE to make a comment on a blog.

And good one, Colleen, "get a life" is soooo original. I think it's funny that you losers get so jacked up about a negative comment about a guy you wouldn't even know if he hadn't been on his wife's TV show!!!

Aw, Jeff, you just made my day with your complete idiocy and what clearly looks to be mental instability. You should get to the root of your rage issues! Good luck.

I don't get it? Why are you so upset Baron von Doodlehead? So Jerri has an opinion about a man that has DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in this world to deserve your loyalty other than be a second rate performer on a reality show. Get a frickin' life man! We may never know all the facts in this case but the one fact that we know is that he stole money (this is public knowledge) from his wife. I don't care if he returned i or he deserve or the California law says he's entitled to it, the fact is he STOLE. That should tell you something about the man's character. Why do we insist as a society to elevate these types of people to celebrity status? Now stop sitting there all alone in that empty room, listening to bad opera and flicking a lightbulb on and off and run to a local angry management session.

Oh excuse me. I meant "anger management". I seem to remember reading another post where someone misspelled a word. JUDG not lest ye be JUDG'D??

You are so sad.

And btw I never said the thief was arrested.

 
At 6:37 AM, Blogger ColleenT said...

wow, it must be nice to be perfect, and still have the time to come to a blog and attack the Blog owner. i hope Matt deletes all your obnoxious posts. He admitted he was not perfect, and that he is trying to do better with his life. Can you say the same? Hardly.

Alright Colleen!!

Well said!

Ok, Colleen, you got me!! You ARE sooooooo clever. I will not return to this blog, but only because you and arkin are teetering so far on the edge of insanity, I don't want to be responsible for pushing you over!! You do realize, I'm sure, how pathetic you are for coming to the rescue of (not to mention trying to hit on) a man you don't even know, when all I really asked was how he paid for his new plugs or rug or whatever he's got going on there. Legitimate question, no? So, farewell, and PS, go outside once in your life!!! There are plenty of 3-dimensional REAL people out there for you to try and sensor and with whom you can carry on your lame arguments.

 
At 8:15 AM, Blogger arkin1968 said...

Whoopie!!! Jerri's finally gone!!

Took her long enough to get the point!!

Jerri you are such an ass. i'm married and happy. i am not hitting on Matt. i think it's pathetic that you chase people around that you hate to terrorize them. get a hobby.

....I am curious about your links to the autism sites. I wonder if you have a personal connection. My son has autism.

All the best to you...

What's up with Matt?? He's been MIA for a month now!

Should we call missing person's??

 
At 7:41 AM, Blogger Rachel said...

Mattttttttttttt... It's been FOREVER since you've posted. Where IS you???????????

 
At 7:02 AM, Blogger AuntieNana said...

Hey Matt,
Congrats on completing the triathalon! Kudos to you!
Wish you'd post again, but after reading the comments on this post, I understand why.
Best Wishes and hope you'll blog soon! :)

TEAM KATHY! You suck at life.

 
At 11:19 AM, Blogger Bryan said...

Matt you look fantastic, keep up the good work and just ignore these unpleasant women who come here to insult you.

More then likely they floated here from Kathy's forum, her devoted fans. Sad unhappy she-beasts
