A year ago today, August 1, 2009, I was passing through Paris on the way to Helsinki. Here’s a 30-second look back in time, as I make good on a childhood dream and a promise:

Back To Health Basics, OK?
Let’s get back to health basics. Man, this seems so incredibly important, and basic.
Isn’t that what First Lady Michelle Obama clearly articulated in her June 23 White House Press Release?
Here’s the bottom line: We can never tire of the basics.
None of us are really in a position to tell the others what or how they should maintain their health.
But there are some who have found “something” and, “somehow“, to maintain it for over a decade, they are becoming your experts. And you can listen to them or not.
But the one thing you can not do, is deny that these people have accomplished much, simply by using the basics. There are people close to you that you should tap into. Find out what motivates them.
No drugs. No coach. No personal trainer. No easy job providing extra time to exercise. No convenient location next to a gym, a “Y”, or school athletic facilities.
Just a pair of running shoes. Wake up. Lace up. Shut up. Walk to the mailbox. And start running.
Running. Just one of many ways to stay active.
What’s yours?
2010 Masters Track & Field National Championships
The 2010 USA Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships begin in 21 days and nearly 1,300 athletes have entered to date. If you have not entered yet is not too late.
The late entry deadline is just two days away (Saturday, July 3 at 5:59 p.m. ET). This is the last opportunity to enter the championships.
The championships are being held in Sacramento, Calif. on the campus of Sacramento State University, site of the 2000 and 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and the 2011 World Masters Athletics Championships.
PS. Hope I’ll be ready by July 2011…
Prefontaine Classic Is…
The 2010 Prefontaine Classic, at Hayward Field in Tracktown, USA (Eugene, Oregon) will be televised on NBC 430 – 600PM this Saturday, July 3rd.
It will feature more Olympic Gold Medalists than any other Track meet in US history.
Even if you don’t like running, you may like the vibe you get watching these artists.
For me, watching them is like adding another log on the fire called burning desire.
Would you describe your desire as a candle or a bonfire?
