(Reading the photo’s text will help this post make sense.)
i should mention that Bill Bowerman (mentioned in photo) was University of Oregon’s head Track & Field Coach long ago.
Bowerman was also the 1972 Olympic USATF Head Coach in Munich.
One of his famous runners, Steve Perfontaine (“Pre”), got 4th in the 5,000.
Pre is also the only athlete Nike has immortalized with a life-sized bronze statue.
By the way, Bill Bowerman used his wife’s waffle iron and some rubber mixture to “bake” the soles of his athlete’s shoes – because he could make them lighter.
From this, he is co-founder of Nike (with Phil Knight).
So yeah, Nike started in a kitchen with a waffle iron.
Vin (from today’s MLC post photo) also happened to be Oregon’s Track & Field Head Coach until 2012 when he got promoted.
More US National Championshios and Olympic Trials have been held at Hayward Field than any other track in our Country.
i do not worship Hayward Field, but i do dig the spirit.

Early bird (5:58 am in bottom of photo) gets to the city faster.
Jesus said a prophet cannot be respected in their own town, with their own people.
Why would He say that?
What does this mean?
My friend Dennis claims sayings and cliches only become so when they are true.
Familiarity breeds contempt.
What if you worked at Apple, say like Steve Jobs, and they fired you even though you were the founder?
What if you worked at one of the most admired companies in the world and you asked questions that others couldn’t (but should easily be able to) answer?

The upper left corner starts with “Some”…torn a corner of a magazine (probably while on an airplane) to write down a thought.
All of us are:
Currently going through a hell no one knows about
Just came out of a hell no one knew about
About to unknowingly go into a hell no one will know about
Those of us who don’t talk about these things aren’t lucky or immune from “bad things”, we just choose to not dwell on where we’ve been, instead we give thanks for making it through and making it back.
