WMA Masters World Championship Videos

WMA 2009 Masters World Championship Videos.  I have a bunch and finally found time yesterday to upload a fair number and will post them at Lane 8.  Here are a few:

Germany’s Guido Muller Reveals Success Secret

Germany’s Guido Muller reveals his secret to running success, moments after smashing the M70 400 meters World Record at the WMA Masters Track & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland.

Surprised by his answer? I am and I’m not.

Surprised that it’s so blunt.  Not surprised because life is like this – pretty obvious.

Lane 8 You Tube video features 100 year old

Alfred Prokschin is 100 years old.  Does his age stop him?  Does he make excuses?

If not today, when? If not you, who?

Race Day at Lane 8

Race day at Lane 8.

Men’s 400 meters, 50-54 age group.  Call time 2PM.  Heat time 3PM.

By the time my preliminary heat is over, most of you back in the United States will just be waking up.

I visualize myself running and feeling God’s pleasure.  Running effortlessly, not to compete, but running simply because I can.

I don’t know why I run sometimes, all I know is that I enjoy it, and cannot help myself.

There is a popular misconception that winning is everything.

May I antagonistically challenge that?

Winning isn’t everything, doing your best is everything.

Don’t sell yourself short.  Be as great as you can be.  Even if you finish last.  Even if you are not a runner.

29 Days to Helsinki

Quick updates:  Great workout this morning.  Among other things, ran a half-mile in 2:30, without competition.  And, I’m a sprinter, eh.

If this sounds slow to you, you should try and do it.   Then you’ll really have an appreciation for what it represents.  And you know I’m 50, right?

Did the math and it’s only 29 days until I fly to Helsinki to represent the USA at World’s at 400 meters.
