Millrose Games Wanamaker Mile

Age Knows No Limits
Age Knows No Limits

Bernard Lagat, 35, won his eighth Millrose Games Wanamaker mile last night, in Madison Square Garden.

The Millrose Games is the oldest Indoor Track & Field meet in the world, at 103 years.

Bernard Lagat is 35 years old.  Age, accomplishments, and  barriers continue to be broken.

It’s fun to see it happen before your eyes.

Motivation is like a fire.  You have to continue to add fuel to it.

But will you.  Today, I mean?  Will you?

Yesterday’s You Tube video selections were hand-picked.

You probably didn’t know that. Nor do you care.

That’s one of the secrets to staying motivated for a long time – like until we die – is to constantly, relentlessly, be finding and discovering things, ways, to get and stay motivated.

I did all the work and you didn’t even watch them.  Predictable.

You know why?  It’s no secret.  I struggle with it all too.

Unless It Matters To You

This morning, at 4:50AM, while deciding what to write here at Lane 8, found a post I had started in August 2009, but had never finished, never posted.

In watching these two videos, it’s clear where my mind was. It was on motivation. Everyday our minds should be on motivation.  Everyday.

Many of you will never be runners. That’s ok.  Never want you to feel like you should be a runner. But I absolutely want you to feel you should do something. Walk, bike, dance, roll, swim, stairs, yoga, gym, ski…. it doesn’t matter, unless it matters to you.

Are your 2010 Health and Fitness goals still burning inside you?

Or has the fire of your resolution started to cool?

Or maybe there’s a feeling of being somewhere in the middle – not on fire and not ready to quit, but stuck.

Today, simply by looking around you everywhere, you will see that the hardest thing to do is to be a great example.

Why is that?

Wow.

That’s all I can say.

Most, if not all of Lane 8’s focus has been centered around exercise, with hints and glimpses of diet and nutrition.

You care about your health. We all do. But if you are seriously interested in taking more control of your destiny, you really should watch this movie trailer.

I know you’re busy.  We’re all busy. But when you have people who are advocates for a better way, they actually do much of the ground work, so all you have to do is click “play”.

It’s short.  It’s powerful. It’s relevant. It premieres June 12.  The analogy is the same as what passionate people did to expose the tobacco industry, after decades of total political protection.

The food processing industry should be one of the next big targets to put in the cross hairs.
