Night Resting Foot Splints (every night)

Today, the USA Masters Track and Field Championships begin in Sacramento, California with one of the biggest fields ever. Over 1400 athletes have signed up to compete in the four day competition. As reported on the USATF website twelve Olympians and 113 reigning world champions are in the field. The athletes range from 30 to 96 years in age. There is both individual and team competition as well individual and relay events.

Unfortunately, while I scheduled vacation time back in January, to compete this week, it’s not in the cards this year.

Patience is a virtue.

And so is staying motivated.

National & World Championships are just one way.

Quite simply, the one thing that is a must is this:

The extra effort.

“In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then desire, determination, discipline, & self-sacrifice. Finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness & respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?” —  Jesse Owens
