Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
That first track season was exciting. It provided new and abundant motivational fuel. It ended poorly, but that only made my resolve greater. And I set out on the long, slow road to hamstring-tear recovery.

Stupid boy.

Can you feel the tension? It’s beginning to choke me.
Am getting another rush of urgency.

Do you have a big goal you want to accomplish by this time next year?
What’s it going to take?
We contemplate what we believe we can do. You know, we take what we’ve done and think about what we’ll be able to do when we get the next chance to try again.
It’s kind of like being an armchair quarterback.
Sitting in the comfort of our living room, watching the game, or World Cup, we comment like we know what we’re talking about.
Nothing will ever replace the preparation, wisdom, courage and guts of “game day”.
There is one prediction. July 2011. Masters Track & Field World Championships in Sacramento.

World Championships? Are you kidding me?

Most people can not even fathom what it would take to compete at a world-class level. Which is perfect, because Lane 8 isn’t about how to run faster, it’s about how to never stop running…..or walking, or swimming, or cycling, or dancing, or whatever it is that you find motivation to do.
Just keep moving. Just keep eating well. Just keep being a great health example to the people you care about. That’s why Lane 8 exists.
