National Championships in 2011

Missed it last year too…

The 2011 Master’s Track & Field Indoor National Championships will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, March 4-6.

I will not be there.

Of course, this is a trivial issue for all of you. In fact, I’d go as far as saying, unless you’re my Mother, you don’t care.

That’s okay, we can still be friends. But let this “disappointment” be another one of many, in the quest for an impossible goal.

Wellness Challenge Continues

Just another day at ‘the office’…

The most basic of questions, okay? Have you completely given up on wellness, well-being and your personal responsibility to managing your health?

This week, I began the one-mailbox-a-day-for-a week wellness challenge with our son (10).

Part of what I do, as an Orlando-based Professional Speaker delivering keynote speeches on life-work balance, is practice what I preach.

How can any of us do anything less?

The 2012 Olympic Team USA Men’s & Women’s Track & Field coaches were named yesterday by the USATF.

While this well-being blog is not a runners blog, there are quite a few running references, because that’s how I exercise.

At the top of the Iowa hill during Monday’s run, I stopped to catch the sunset (on my sunglasses) and to take a peek at the stone quarry (background).

And then, on purpose, I caught the moon rise & the sunset within inches of each other.

Live your life. Have fun. Deal with your pain. Get help when you need too. Go for a run, a walk, a swim, whatever, just go. No excuses. Okay? Run (really slowly) one mailbox a day for week. You can do that, right?

Wellness Challenge 2011

An Iowa Marriott front desk brochure…

Wellness used to be a buzz word in corporate health care initiatives. Wellness implies living a well balanced lifestyle.

Lane 8 is a health, wellness, fitness, diet, exercise, well-being blog. A way to teach Chapin about the fundamentals. And to provide inspiration for staying motivated for lifetime wellness.

Chapin and I began running one-mail-box a day recently.

Join us in this wellness initiative. Just jog, very slowly, one mailbox a day for the first week.

What Are You Going To Do?

Do you have any idea how much I pray for your health? And for the health of the world?

Obesity is an epidemic in America.

Epidemic!

We let obesity happen. It’s our fault. If we’re not part of the solution, we’re part of the problem.

And more importantly, what are we (you) going to do about it?

I started a commitment Sunday night and will challenge you tomorrow to do something similar.
