What's good, my name is Rich Jones and I'm a health and performance coach, Speaker and

podcast host and two time, I said two time, US Masters Track and Field National Champions.

So if you don't know, March 10th was my 40th birthday, on March 11th, I kicked off my

second indoor track and field season back by competing at the indoor Masters Championships

for 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky in the long jump and triple jump and the long jump

is actually the event that I came in basically last place in at the outdoor championships

back in 2022.

And for this whole meet, this whole track and field weekend in Louisville, I had three

goals.

One, have fun, two, perform better than I did last year and then three win.

Now I would have been happy if I just accomplished the first two because I definitely had fun.

I definitely did better than I did last year, but I went a step further and I won the

long jump for the 40 to 44 year old age group and man, it had to be one of the best, if

not the best birthday gift I could have given myself and having me share there with me

and thinking about this writing exercise that my coach had me do a few years ago, where

he had me write a day, a couple of years into the future, it might have been three years

and I ended up writing a few pages for this exercise.

And I talked about being the healthiest that I'd ever been.

I basically wrote the day as if it was happening from start to finish going through all the

details.

I talked about being the healthiest that I've ever been.

I talked about competing in track and field.
