How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it. ~Robert Brault

Not when we start, but we become strangely confident by the time it’s over.

6 Impossible Dreams Before Sunrise?
A couple nights ago we had “movie night” at our house and chose Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland”, with Johnny Depp.
Early in the movie, Alice is sharing with someone that her Father would dream six impossible dreams before breakfast. A typical morning for him.
Alice’s Father was a dreamer.
Are you?
What would have happened if Martin Luther King wouldn’t have been a dreamer?

It’s Over
The 2010 US Master’s Track & Field National Championships concluded yesterday. Wish I could have been healthy enough to compete.
During the Championships, many of the world’s best athletes ages 30-96 demonstrated speed, power, skill and endurance, showing that age is no barrier to lifetime fitness and competition. The Spanos Sports Complex was the site of the 2000 and 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials – Track & Field, and will play host to the 2011 World Masters Athletics Championships, July 6-17.
World Championships in 2011? Are you kidding me?
No.
At 51, it’s still my vision to make it to Lane 8, the worst lane in track & field.
