A moment later, the Indy 500 Track. Highways and motivation are a lot alike. They take us where we want to go, don’t they?

Health Blog

Ok, so Lane 8 is a health blog that just so happens to also be a running blog – that’s what works for me. You’ve got your own thing.

Motivation. How many times does that show up?

Passion. Fire. Burning desire. Steve Prefontaine.

He said, “There may be someone who can beat me, but they’ll have to bleed to do it.”

I’d classify myself as a sprinter, not a distance runner. I (hate) prefer not to run 5k’s, and 10k’s. They make my heart and lungs want to explode.

But I do them anyway, to burn, to bleed, to push the limits of the human heart and to have fun.

Sunday’s goal was to run 20:30. Mile splits of 6:40 + 6:40 + 6:35 + :35 landed this:

Don't Let Your Spirit Become Hard As A Rock

Wake up.

Find the will power to do what needs to be done.

This will continue until we die.

We can not be perfect at this, but we can be excellent.

Public Parks Are Designed To Help You

Ever have a friend who asks you for your advice?

I mean, over and over again?  Gets old doesn’t it?

What they should do, health-wise, is so painfully obvious.

They know it. You know it. Even a young child knows it.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.  To my friend from yesterday, who’ll probably never read this, and to anyone else in denial – figure it out.

There's A Second Pistol On The Other Side

Do you want to be healthier or are you good with where you are right now?

If you’re good with where you are right now, can you see into the future, years down the road, and still see a healthy you?

What if you fought for your health the same way our police fight for justice?

It's A Long List

It's A Long List

My list of pathetic excuses?

Sure, it’s a long list.

Just like yours.

Lists can be good.

Lists can be bad.

Shed.

Shed your list of pathetic excuses.

It’s the only antidote for mediocrity.

You Can Do It

There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-million blogs on the Internet, and growing daily.

There are 221-million results if you Google “Health Blogs”.

What are all these health-blog people trying to say? Please let me summarize for you:

  1. Dream Big
  2. Get There
  3. Stay There

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

PS. Do your excuses make you stop or make you sick? Mine made me sick. Sick to think that I’m the only one responsible for my actions and I wasn’t doing anything about it, except making excuses.

Excuses be damned.

All Proof Destroyed?

“Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you, and no crowds shout your name.” — Robert Louis Stevenson

Maybe you believe in yourself, or maybe you don’t.

The more days that you go without quitting what you you really want to do, the stronger your belief will become.

There really is no other way to change.

You simply must have resolve. A goal is not enough.

You must want this for the rest of your life.

Remember, your everyday courage will have very few witnesses.

How’s that sound?

Huh?  Exactly.

I could try and explain it to you, but you already know what I’m talking about, don’t you?  If you are confused, this 30-second You Tube video should clear it up:

There, that’s the point of this Lane 8 message today. We succeed in proportion to our willingness to fail.

Fearing failure is a sure fire way to have success elude you.  Who wants that?

Why exercise?

What’s your answer?

There will never be a better time than right now to do it. I realize many reading this will disagree that there’s a better day than today.

If so, may I ask this, “Then if it’s not today, when?”

How many more days, weeks, months, years can your answer be, “Not today?”

Have a great day. “Here’s to your health, your goals, your dreams, and, to today!”
