Dear Son, Walt Disney Said If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It
January 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
Turning the corner and no looking back...
Wow, look at that boy go!
I'm doing it, and it feels GREAT!
Ta-Da!!!! Success.
Dear Son, Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it”. As you know, your Dad has studied Walt all his life and worked for Walt for 3/5th’s of it. I have been teaching you everything I know, and as you get older, the lessons will become more profound.

Eventually This Is Possible
March 8, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Feeling overwhelmed? We all are.
There is hope. It’s free. But it’s not easy.
You must do the five simple steps from Lane 8′s blog post two days ago, if you intend to transform yourself.
You can (repeat, CAN) become conditioned to work on two or three impossible goals simultaneously.
But not until you’ve had some success doing it one at a time.
Look, you won’t find easy answers here. You’ll find simple answers, but nothing here is going to be “easy”.
Will I ever make it to Lane 8? No, but that won’t stop me from trying. And in the process of never giving up, perhaps I’ll stay healthy for the rest of my life.
And maybe, just maybe, if the best runners in the world have their worst day, and I have the absolute best day of my life, maybe the finals in the worst lane, Lane 8, isn’t impossible after all.
And maybe reaching your impossible goal isn’t impossible either.
Ready to Fight?

Frozen, Hardened
Are you ready to fight for your life?
Then, and only then, will you start to see the changes you’ve always dreamed of.
May I introduce your opponent?
It’s you. You are the challenge. You are the problem. You are the opportunity.
It’s time to kick your own butt. Seriously, it is.
If not you, who? if not now, when?
Ps. I’m dead serious about this.
Keep Your Goals Very Small
December 28, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Start Small and Never Stop
What the? Keep my goals very small? Didn’t you say to dream big?
Didn’t you say, “If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.”
Exactly.
And maybe the challenge for many people, including you, is that your definition of impossible is inaccurate.
When I started running 11 years ago, my impossible goal wasn’t to run in the Master’s Track & Field World Championships.
It also wasn’t to run one mailbox a day for a week, and then two mailboxes a day the second week and so on.
It was to get started and never stop.
One day at a time. Get started and never quit. Never quit, one day at a time – this is what I mean by very small goals.
Do you see the difference?
Lane 8 Succeeds Due to Failure
December 18, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Lane 8 is successful because Lane 8 is a failure.
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?
What’s Impossible?

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s not an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary… Impossible is nothing.” - Adidas
“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”. – jeff noel
Good luck today with your health goals. Set ‘em high. Carpe diem.
Run Blog Run

Run Blog Run is an interesting blog I found while reading Fast Forward on the plane to Niagara Falls yesterday. By the way, I’m here in Niagara Falls, New York.
Fast Forward is a free magazine as part of a USATF membership.
Was it coincidence that the first article on Run Blog Run featured Jeremy Wariner? Jeremy has dominated the 400 meters for some time:
- 3 Olympic Gold Medals
- 4 World Championship Gold medals
- 5th Fastest 400m Time Ever
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, LaShawn Merritt, age 22, defeated Jeremy, and established himself as the Olympic 400m gold medalist.
What does any of this mean?
It just means that everybody has something they love to do. Jeremy, LaShawn and I love to run 400m.
I also happen to love helping others go for their dreams. That’s what Lane 8 is all about.
Dream Big. Get There. Stay There. Carpe diem, jeff noel :)
Happy Easter

Happy Easter.
If you don’t celebrate Easter, may I please wish you Joy in whatever makes you happy. Diversity is what makes the world so special. Thank you for respecting my beliefs as much as I respect yours.
Today is a day of rest, from training, and hopefully, from working.
Carpe diem. Dream big, get there and most importantly of all, stay there. That’s the ticket. Staying at your goal. jeff
