Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Yesterday at the United States of America Track & Field Master’s National Championships, a world age-group record was set in the women’s hammer throw.
If I had been there like planned, you know I would have found her, and with pocket camera rolling, asked, “What motivates you? And, What does it feel like to be a world-record holder? And finally, Any advice to the viewers out there?“
Will you be exercising today?

Do you ever think back to the times, as an innocent child, when you dreamt impossible dreams. Oh, they didn’t seem impossible then. That only happened as you got older.
Like many children, I wanted to be a famous athlete. Maybe the next Jim Brown of the Chicago Bears. Or become the world’s fastest human. I was, after all, the fastest ten year old on my street.
Next Thursday through Sunday will be the 2010 USA Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California. If you are at the meet, make sure you stop by the National Masters News booth and say hello to Randy Sturgeon, publisher of National Master News. He’ll be competing in the Pentathlon on Thursday, hopefully. He’s been nursing an injury, but will be there all the rest of the time. He hopes to see you there.
For good measure, and in the spirit of wishing to be there, I ran a 2:32 800 meters this morning.

The 2010 Prefontaine Classic, at Hayward Field in Tracktown, USA (Eugene, Oregon) will be televised on NBC 430 – 600PM this Saturday, July 3rd.
It will feature more Olympic Gold Medalists than any other Track meet in US history.
Even if you don’t like running, you may like the vibe you get watching these artists.
For me, watching them is like adding another log on the fire called burning desire.
Would you describe your desire as a candle or a bonfire?
If you’re interested in competing at the 2010 Master’s Track & Field National Championships, here’s a link for housing information. I know, no one cares about the housing information.
But we are a curious bunch, aren’t we? Is it human nature?
So, I’m banking on your curiosity. To click through and to follow where this Summer’s story may lead.
Staying healthy and having fun, for our entire lives, is one of life’s biggest challenges. A small injury can throw us off track. A Family emergency, or a long business trip can do the same.
Or, maybe a serious injury, like Plantar Fasciitis can last two years or more. Eventually things get better, if we don’t give up.
The next five weeks will be very interesting, and very tempting.
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:
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 🙂
