Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
It’s an officially sanctioned USATF Track & Field Meet.
Ever follow a dream where you work so hard, you can almost taste success? But then before you know it, judgement day arrives?
The track officials halted all competition for 8 hours, due to the heat index being too dangerous for older runners. The meet would resume at 8pm.
Are you kidding me? This is almost bedtime.

New pair & old pair of resting foot splints. I wear one on each foot while sleeping – have for a decade!
Spent three months going 2-3 times a week to physical therapy at Florida Hospital Celebration, two blocks from work. Harder than it seems, because of frequent travel.
Almost didn’t seem worth it, all the rescheduling and missed appointments. Would have been easier to quit. Quitting always is the easiest option, isn’t it?
In the end, there was no quitting. And it was time to buy a plane ticket. To Finland.

The streets of Lahti, Finland, 2009.
Are you getting this? The whole notion that excuses abound, and courage does not? It often makes me sick to my stomach when people write self-help blogs and we never hear their story?
Tell us your story man. Don’t tell us about some amazing person doing some incredibly inspiring endeavor. That’s everywhere. We need those, and love those.

Low risk = I have to get in shape anyway.
High risk = overdoing it could cause another injury – possibly worse than the others.

No, it wasn’t here in my hometown, Walt Disney World.
The (2006) National Championships – August. Charlotte, North Carolina. Easy, affordable access from Orlando.
Recovered by then? Maybe.
But first, the physical therapist insists on strengthen my core. I said, “Is that somewhere in the middle?” Didn’t even know what ‘core’ was. But quickly found out.
And by the way, my core was pathetic. Maybe worse.
Physical therapist said injuries will continue unless the core is strengthened. Who knew?
