Matt Damon Ran A Half Marathon Last Sunday

So did a very efficient 76 year old Canadian woman named Liz Borrett .

Matthew Greenleaf. Bib #140. Male, 45 years old. Place, 1712. Time, 1:58:05.

Greenlead must be a reference to Dickie Greenleaf, Jude Law's character in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

The surfer in pic #5 looks like Tom Cruise! Maybe he's too tall to be Cruise, but it's hard to tell.

"He normally sings some songs, like Taylor Swift tunes, to himself when he runs."

Wow

In the book "The Bourne Identity", Ludlum writes that the recovering Bourne runs 11 or 12 miles in an hour every morning.

Good thing Damon didn't try to act that part.

I remember reading after The Informant came out that he was around 50 minutes or an hour for a 10K, and I wondered what he'd be able to do if he was still in Bourne shape.

He looks heavily bulked up in the new Bourne teaser.

He ran my local Thanksgiving race in 2004 with his Dad. He did the 5K in 23:42 and used his real name (it was known before the race he would be there, he and his Dad got low bib numbers).

He spoke to the crowd before the race:

Wrong caption above, here is the pic walking with his Dad after the race:

FWIW, it looks like he is wearing an NPR shirt.

Wow

That quote is not from Matt Damon but the overall men's marathon winner, Anthony Fagundes.

Is that confirmed?

Isn't running under an assumed name a violation of the waiver and rules?

Surprised that none of you LR Truthers have questioned Matthew Greenleaf's splits. 9:35 pace for first 5K, then slightly faster for next 5K, then 8:30 pace from 10K to 10M with a last 5K of 8:26. He must have cut the course, right?

He hung around the finish line and took pictures with folks as he waited. I thought it was a very cool thing to do, he was approachable, and seemed like he took the race easy.

Matthew Greenleaf not in any pictures for that name or bib# either.

But then he wouldn't be would he. From the minute he left Treadstone he's killed and eluded every single person you've sent to find him.

And the article says he ran and was waiting for his gf to finish so he had to be done in under 2:30ish....

Isn't he still married? No articles about a divorce.

Matt Damon would never be with a 2:00 HM fatty.

Nor a 1:20 stick. We should be looking around 1:45.

It is.

Mr. Damon took it easy this is true.

Wearing sweats during the whole race would cause a guy to overheat if he ran with much effort.

Therefore he probably is capable of going much faster.

Extreme runner Dane Rauschenberg also recently ran a half marathon in Milwaukee. Mr. Rauschenberg finished in a respectable 1:29:57.

he's a ghost wrote:

Agent K Stillman has been notified and dispatched on the assignment. Results soon.

Interesting board. Not my best time but too bulked up right now and have never been willing to give up the beer. Enjoy

Don, for your proof: "Alice went down the rabbit hole on a pogo stick". You owe me a bill.

Adios.
