Did America’s Wellness Expert Mention The 2011 Huntsman World Senior Games?

The 25th Annual Huntsman World Senior Games, St George, Utah, October 2011

We know this truth, yet we forget it easily when we hear someone speak confidently – people who lead change do so because they believe the world needs it. These game changers know that confidence is part of it, courage is part of it and so is salesmanship. Jesus had to sell His disciples on carrying on without him. At the risk of death. That’s a hard sell, if you ask me. America’s Wellness expert, jeff noel, understands the risky business of looking boastful. In fact he hates it, but does it anyway.

Overtraining Is A Common Pitfall of Older Athletes As They Try To Regain Their Youth

November 24, 2011 by Leave a Comment

If Baby Boomers compete in athletics, they are likely involved in Masters or Seniors competitions. All in good fun with a generous competitive spirit. Anything to keep their motivation to exercise consistent. And sometimes, it pays to slow down and smell the roses flowers. Becoming blinded by success can lead to ruin. The paradox is we have no idea what we’re capable of, until we push our limits.

jeff noel's Hometown, Walt Disney World

At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, jeff noel was standing in the shade on a hot, humid Central Florida afternoon, and the flags and monorail caught his eye for no apparent reason. Just weeks before the 2007 Masters Track & Field World Championships in Italy, noel’s workout included six repetitions of the Contemporary’s 14 flights of stairs, all two-steps at a time, with two sets at three steps at a time. Two weeks later, from overtraining, noel became injured and couldn’t go to Italy.

Unless It Matters To You

January 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment

This morning, at 4:50AM, while deciding what to write here at Lane 8, found a post I had started in August 2009, but had never finished, never posted.

In watching these two videos, it’s clear where my mind was. It was on motivation. Everyday our minds should be on motivation.  Everyday.

Many of you will never be runners. That’s ok.  Never want you to feel like you should be a runner. But I absolutely want you to feel you should do something. Walk, bike, dance, roll, swim, stairs, yoga, gym, ski…. it doesn’t matter, unless it matters to you.

Our Body Is A Gift

October 10, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Yet we ignore this priceless gift.

Well, we ignore it until we start to here from it.  Aches and pains. Wake up calls.

We can be fairly certain that these will afflict us all.  The question is, it seems, “Can we slow down, minimize, or stop altogether, these physical challenges”?

At 50, even though I’ve seen a lot, there is much that hasn’t been seen.  What I do know, is that trying is better than worrying.  At least if we get ailments, and wake up calls, we can live with the Peace that we did our best.
