Track Town USA

Here’s another short, quirky You Tube video from jeff noel at University of Oregon and Track Town USA.

If you are not a Track fan, that’s ok. This blog isn’t about Track anyway, it’s about excellence, our physical well-being and our approach to what we do with it.

But you already knew that, right?

Why Exercise?

Why exercise?

Seriously?  You live your life and you exercise and you don’t know why?

Or, you don’t exercise, and you don’t know why?

It’s dark outside, here in Central Florida.

And in a few more months, it will also be cold.

Yet I get up, shut up, show up, and just do it.

It’s time for a You Tube motivational video:

The World Championships aren’t about winning, they’re about doing your best.

Even if you finish last.  At least you got up, shut up, showed up and just did it.  No one can take that away from you.  No one.  Ya with me?

I’m gonna shut up and go show up and run in the dark.

At least it’s not cold this morning.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8, Lane 8, Lane 8

Lane 8, Lane 8, Lane 8.

Never gets old.

Lane 8 never gets old?

Not for me.

Why?

Because I’ve come to realize that the way to be great, at anything, is to cultivate, develop, and finally, harness two key factors.

Focus and discipline.

Can you imagine trying to be great without these two?

There’s one other factor that deserves intense consideration – vision.

Steve Prefontaine had a vision – to be the greatest runner in the world, even though people said he was too short, too weak.

Good luck with whatever is important to you. Now you know my secrets.

They’re actually just common sense, but not common practice.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
