Greatest Track Coach of All Time?

Who’s the best Track & Field coach of all time?

Who’s the best cross-country coach of all time?

It may very well be the same person.

I do not claim to be an expert in these things, however, after reading about this coach, it sure presents a great case that this is the person.

The statistics are staggering.

I had never even heard of this person.  A quiet and humble dynasty.  Wow!

Makes you realize that one person can really make a difference in the lives of many.  Capre diem,  jeff noel  🙂

Pain, Pain Go Away

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day…..

Remember that song?   I changed the lyrics slightly, substituting pain for rain.

Still can’t shake the left heel pain.  Need to return to Dr Curtis Wagner next week.

This is an enormous concern.   Because, if the pain limits my ability to sprint, then the journey to Finland may be pointless.

Or maybe not.

In my five mile runs, I’m running mile intervals significantly faster than two months ago.  That’s the good news.

Tempered with the reality of almost daily pain.

As I wrote earlier this week, I will keep on going.  After a decade (or maybe a lifetime), I can’t quit now.

What would you do?

Thank you for following Lane 8 and carpe diem, jeff 🙂
