Master’s National Championships 2010

The World's Most Famous Track

If you’re interested in competing at the 2010 Master’s Track & Field National Championships, here’s a link for housing information. I know, no one cares about the housing information.

But we are a curious bunch, aren’t we? Is it human nature?

So, I’m banking on your curiosity. To click through and to follow where this Summer’s story may lead.

Staying healthy and having fun, for our entire lives, is one of life’s biggest challenges. A small injury can throw us off track. A Family emergency, or a long business trip can do the same.

Or, maybe a serious injury, like Plantar Fasciitis can last two years or more. Eventually things get better, if we don’t give up.

The next five weeks will be very interesting, and very tempting.

Getting in shape, whatever that means, is something most people know to be a reasonable and desirable goal.

But doing it is next to impossible for many people.

Do you know why?

Do you know the secret to overcoming what most can not, will not, and do not overcome?

Crazy thing is, both those questions have been answered here at Lane 8, at least a dozen times in the past 14 months.

Today is National Running Day. Who knew? As a runner, I had never heard of it. Showed up on Facebook this morning. Many people say things like, “I hate running”, or “I’ve never been a runner”.

Given a choice, it would almost seem like many would also add, “I hate walking”, or “I’ve never liked walking”.

And it doesn’t stop there, it continues with, “I hate vegetables”, or “I’ve never liked vegetables”.

Absurd!
