No doubt, 97% will not click the video. Doesn’t worry me. What worries me is not exposing the other 3% who are counting on being fed daily encouragement.

With a decade of chronic foot pain under control, what’s next?

Care to take a guess?

Victory over adversity makes celebrating more fun, more exciting.

No guarantees victory will last, so live it up while you can.

Let’s count the ways…

Personal health is your responsibility, making life hard.

After 2 years, jeff noel stopped taking Celebrex January 1, 2011.

The chronic foot pain from plantar fasciitis has been non-existent.

Two years was a long time to take prescription medicine.

And your health resolutions?

Do you have spring fever? Do you want to get or stay healthy?

Join the club. I seriously doubt most of you will have time to watch ‘Something Beautiful’ by Need To Breathe.

If you watched it, there’s a good chance you exercised today, or yesterday. Funny how the two are connected.

The 2011 Master’s Track & Field Indoor National Championships will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, March 4-6.

I will not be there.

Of course, this is a trivial issue for all of you. In fact, I’d go as far as saying, unless you’re my Mother, you don’t care.

That’s okay, we can still be friends. But let this “disappointment” be another one of many, in the quest for an impossible goal.

USA Swept the 400 In The Beijing Olympics

Track & Field geek? Totally. And I wasn’t fully aware how bad it was until yesterday morning.

Unexpectedly, it provided a keen reminder of how Disney fanatics feel when they get those rare opportunities to go backstage.

Indianapolis

Getting and staying healthy is on your mind a lot, isn’t it? That’s one of the reasons you visit Lane 8. And it’s the reason I write Lane 8.

The real secret to health isn’t what or how we do it, and yet it’s the first thing people get hung up on. The real secret is finding the motivation to do whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes to never give up. To never quit. Ever.

Last night after dinner with a colleague, we walked a different route back to our hotel in Indianapolis. We are on the same street as the Capital building. Indianapolis is also home to USATF headquarters, and roughly three blocks away.

Guess what? We bump into the guy who runs the USATF online store and strike up a conversation. Small world? Karma? Opportunity? Fate?
