i quit, he said to himself.

On yesterday morning’s first run on Sanibel Island, the pain kicked in big time at mile six, during a three-minute half-mile interval.

With Nationals and World’s looming, where i wanted to be and where i am are far apart.

Wisdom is knowing the real goal is to simply to be able to run freely, and pain-free.

To add meaning to the preparation

America's best wellness speaker
Today starts the 2015 Prefontaine Classic. Tomorrow is the 23rd Central Florida Glider’s meet. It’s also marks 30 years since Pre’s tragic car accident.

And just because an alarming percentage of Americans are not active, does not mean that society believes this is acceptable.

Do you?

During tomorrow’s competition, the goal is not to win a race, even though there’s a possibility. The goal is to have all the preparation have meaning – something to look forward to, to celebrate.
