Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.

The younger jeff noel was, the faster he was. Set a 7th grade school record. And again in 8th and 9th grades. Even in High School.

Do you exercise, or want to exercise, and do you follow the story here at Lane 8? Then you probably know that I’m (currently) a runner, a Father, Husband, Transformational speaker, recovering alcoholic, person with a disability, and the descendant of a Family history of Heart Disease and Dementia.
Do you think your health goals are impossible? Do you think your work life and home life schedules need to change before you can commit? Indeed, there are things you’ll need to stop doing before you can start doing.

This morning, at 4:50AM, while deciding what to write here at Lane 8, found a post I had started in August 2009, but had never finished, never posted.

Many of you will never be runners. That’s ok. Never want you to feel like you should be a runner. But I absolutely want you to feel you should do something. Walk, bike, dance, roll, swim, stairs, yoga, gym, ski…. it doesn’t matter, unless it matters to you.
