Which would you aim for?

paper note pad with handwritten notes
Scribbling notes on our kitchen notepad when inspiration, or a crazy memory, hits. Reflecting on the promise to myself when turning 40 – never again say, “I need to start working out and eating better”.

Would you rather be the fastest of the slowest or the slowest of the fastest?

Dear son, you could finish dead last in your race and still be the 8th fastest in the world.

Masters Track & Field World Championships.

In the finals.

Dead last.

Number 8 in the world.

Change what you see and what you see changes.

If your goal isn’t impossible

Disney speaker jeff noel
From the top of the highest ski jump ramp in Lahti, Finland – site of the 2009 (i turned 50) Masters Track and Field World Championships.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

jn

My goal was (and still is) to run from Lane 8, the worst lane in the 400 meters.

Lane 8 is assigned to the slowest runner.

Lane 8, because the runners stay in their lane the entire race (one lap), are blind to the rest of the competition.

The worst lane.

And i don’t care if i come in last.

Think about it.

Lane 8.

In the finals.

At the World Championships.

Come in dead last and still be the 8th fastest in the world.

Pretty cool.

Impossible, really.

Which is perfect.

Such a crazy dream in Spring 1999

Publix grocery check out
Yesterday at Publix.

Such a crazy dream in Spring 1999.

Run one mailbox a day for a week. Each subsequent week, add one more mailbox to the daily distance.

 Never dreamt 10 years later i’d be representing Team USA at the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships in Finland.

 Ps. We ran 12 mailboxes this morning. Where will we be as a Family 10 years from August 2018 (when we began 0ne mailbox a day)?

Two nights ago the aim (as it always is) was 8 hours.

 

Ready to make meals
First time we tried ready-to-make meals was last night.

 

Be well, all day, every day.

You’re in charge of this.

All day.

Every day.
