The video says it all. It’s longer than normal, on purpose.
More to come. Do you have a vision? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 Vision
Lane 8 Vision. What’s the vision for Lane 8? I’ve shared it over and over with people, one at a time.
It hit me. Record a Lane 8 You Tube video and post it as a PAGE for first time visitors to Lane 8.
This is the first of several jeff noel midlife You Tube videos, sharing the vision for Lane 8.
Now, hopefully, you have a clearer picture. But this is only the beginning. Stay tuned.
As soon as I can, I’ll post the followup to this one.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
Lane 8 World Record 400 Meters
Lane 8 world record at 400 meters being set as I video the men’s 70-74 age group.
Germany’s Guido Muller is the oldest man ever (repeat, ever) to run 400 meters under one minute.
It’s sort of like Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile barrier in 1954.
There is so much I have to share from the WMA Master’s World Championships. Each day, you can expect more from the week-long trip to Lahti, Finland.
Watch him do it here in front of my very eyes two days ago:
Click here to see Forbes list of the top 20 athletic achievements from the past 150 years. Forbes voted Roger Bannister’s feat number one. Lance Armstrong was voted second.
Heading Back to USA
Thank you for visiting www.Lane8.org.
I’m completely exhausted and will try to finish Saturday’s post from the United States. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Meanwhile there are four other posts from today if you’d like to take a surf:
Read Lane 8 Like A Book
Lane 8 is a fun story to write. Fun because it’s for our son. He’ll be nine in a few days. There are only a few who actually know this. Now more will.
If you were to spend an hour reading back through this blog, you’d start to see how impossible it was for me to be here in Finland.
The temptation to postpone, rationalize, or even to quit, is beyond my normal threshold for these types of life’s challenges.
Yet, I write this from Lahti, Finland – home to the 2009 Master’s Track & Field World Championships.
Reading back through the posts, and looking at where I was ten years ago, I hope our son will realize a few things about life:
- This is not a story about athletic achievement, it’s about setting “life’s bar” high
- This is not my story, it’s our story
- Nothing is impossible
- There are no short cuts in life
- Life is painfully hard
- Life is gloriously wonderful
- Live your life with purpose, and on purpose
- Do not worry what others think
- Have fun along the way
- Love others and be loved by others
Thanks for following Lane 8. I totally understand virtually all of you will never have time to read from here to the beginning, or from the beginning to here.
But if you ever want to read a “book” to be inspired, this may be a diamond in the rough.
Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
