2020 Gold

Yesterday’s mail. USATF. United States of America Track & Field.

Today’s posts are influenced by yesterday’s hour of Jeopardy Greatest of All Time show, and the commercials, plus a piece of US Mail, pictured above.

It’s been so long since i’ve run more than a 15-minute mile pace.

How long?

Five years maybe.

There is something about age-group competition that has the wonder of elementary school playgrounds in Spring.

An Olympic Year always heightens this childish emotion.

Still crazy after all theses years

2019 IAAF World Relays from Japan concluded yesterday.

Still crazy about USATF after all theses years.

Son, what’s important to note is that i’m carrying a lifetime of excitement to support and follow Team USA.

Sure, track and field is an obscure sport….not a single friend nor family member is into track and field. Not one.

This lifetime of following facilitates an emotional connection – because i’m a runner – that drives my commitment to staying active.

Time for a new inventory of running shorts

USATF Gear
USATF member price is $31. Tried to find it cheaper on Amazon…

 

USATF gear
Not available on Amazon. Ever.

 

Part of staying active is being organized with your structure and processes for allowing you to streamline your wellness efforts.

Having plenty of the optimal gear for your karma helps minimize hassles.

Bought the last four available pairs of official USATF running shorts two weeks ago.

Ideally, 10 pairs is the goal.

Recycle or trash the older 10 pairs.

Held on to the tag pictured above to remind me to look for more asap.

Today (two weeks later) is my asap.

Five more pairs magically appeared in USTF Store inventory.

Lucky me.

Note: of all the running shorts i’ve worn, these are the best for me.

You should NEVER have to scramble to find what you need to exercise.

Ever.

Bicycled to the USATF annual meeting at Disney to take a risk

USATF 2016 annual meeting at Disney
Yesterday at the Hilton next to Disney Springs.

 

Vin Lananna and jeff noel
Yesterday around 10am.

 

Bicycled from home to the USATF annual meeting at Disney to take a risk.

USATF is United States of America Track & Field.

Vin Lananna was our Team USA Track & Field Head Coach in Rio a few months ago.

Two days ago he was elected USATF’s new President.

Wanted to ask him a question.

Mission accomplished.

Disney creativity DNA in action.

It makes me smile, it was so easy.

And without my Disney experience, something i would have never had the creativity, or courage, to do.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Wondering if they have any idea

Road ID

 

(photo: Road ID is a weather proof bracelet with your emergency contact information.)

Three friends on a trip, all three are calling themselves runners.

One has been running for several years and has completed five marathons. Another who is potentially going to ‘become a runner’ for the first time in 50 years.

And then there’s the third person who has been running weekly since April Fool’s Day 1999. He doesn’t talk about running. Most of his t-shirts and jackets are from the USATF store.

This outer wear speaks to him. It says, ‘Team USA is good and decent and motivating”.

And there’s the insight. Do you speak to others about your running wellness or do you speak to yourself?
