Lane 8 is the worst lane. The slowest competitor is placed there. You know this already.
There is an art to being in Lane 8.
Huh? Exactly.
Although it doesn’t seem so, striving for (metaphorically) Lane 8 is really impossible.
Getting healthy and staying healthy, until we die, is really quite impossible too.
Or is it? There is an art to not quitting, not giving up, no matter what.
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

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.
