What is Lane 8? In Track & Field, Lane 8 is the lane generally reserved for the slowest runners. The second question you may be wondering is what does that have to do with adventures? The answer is simple. Visit Lane8.org to find out. If you can’t wait, here’s the story, but to get the full impression, you really need to read it for yourself.
Jeff Noel, the author of Lane 8.org, is currently in Finland at the 2009 Master’s Track & Field World Championships. He’s in Finland as we speak. How exciting is that? An adventure happening in real-time! Jeff has trained for years to compete on the world stage. He’s doing it for several reasons, chief among them is for his son.
What I like about this story, besides the fact that it takes place far from home, is the commitment, drive, motivation, perseverance and satisfaction he has from reaching his goal. He made the decision to shoot for the stars and he did it. When was the last time you did something like that? Most of us say we want to do all these things, but the reality is, we never do.
Not Jeff. He did it.
Not me, I’m doing it.
What about you?
What are you doing today, right now, to fulfill your dreams? If you answered “no”, then you probably know what you need to do next…
Lane 8.org says, “If Your Goal Isn’t Impossible, You’re Not Reaching High Enough.” What do you think of that?
Good Luck Jeff!

Ben Reed, you are amazing. I’m completely blown away and humbled by your post – I guess you were paying attention after all.
Thank you for throwing another log on the fire.
It’s not uncommon when you are chasing a crazy, impossible dream, to feel so small.
But then, little moments, like this post, happen when you least expect them. And you will remember why you are doing it. Thank you Ben.
