Found Masters Track meets locally 2005-2007
In 2006, after six years solid running and conditioning foundation, the photos show, going into the 2006 Masters Track & Field National championships, jeff noel seeded number 20 of 34.
Finished 10th, missing the finals by two spots.

This has massive ramifications with our current thinking that we will never be confined to a chair because we are too frail to walk.

Um, yeah, it’s too cold, too hot, too early, too late, too busy…
… but I’m going out for a run anyway.
And so it goes. Another day, another long list of “too _______” slayed.
