Mile World Record

One mile World Record broken not only once, but twice in the same race.

Wow!

There once was a time when people thought a human body couldn’t handle running a mile in less than four minutes.

Remember?

Roger Bannister did it on May 6, 1954, in 3:59.4

National Champions Texas A&M!

The 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Champions are Texas A&M.  Go Aggies!

Not only did the Texas A&M women win the National title, but so did the Texas A&M men’s track team.

Here’s the aricle on this amazing feat that hasn’t been done since 1990.

My thoughtful wife actually saw the meet being televised.  She knows that Track & Field is the one sport I try to make time to watch.

While writing several blog posts yesterday, I was able to follow the action.  It’s always special and inspiring to me, to see something significant and rare happen.

Change in plans?

Lane 8 has a change in plans.

Instead of driving out to the National Training Center, in Clermont, for the 2009 Sunshine State Games, I’ve decided to head to a closer track for a speed workout.

Turbulent times call for tough decisions.  Right?

This is a gut feeling that I’m taking the better of two options.

Many times, I simply ask myself a question that I learned decades ago from Zig Zigler.

“Will this action take me closer to, or farther from, my goal”?

I’m following where my enthusiasm leads me.

Meanwhile, may I humbly suggest you follow this link at jungle jeff for more on the power of ENTHUSIASM?

R & R?

Rest and Relaxation?

Hardly.

I am doing what’s called active rest, meaning I am purposefully avoiding exercise today.

However, I’ll be teaching all day on my feet.

Such is the challenge of a mid-life athlete, working full-time, trying to make the world a better place.

No worries though.

I’ve been doing this for over a decade.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

What’s your will?

Make it a GREAT day.  jungle jeff 🙂
