This season I'm writing more than running. My work is focused on motivation in schools. I've started a new blog called Above Grade. Of course I see things from an athlete's perspective, so there considerable overlap. I'm curious to know if you find the comparison of sports-related motivation and school-related motivation as compelling as I do. It was too hard not to write about Lance this week. The fifth post since I started the new blog, therefore, begins with this topical tidbit. I hope you'll check it out and help get a discussion going over there -- not too many people know about it yet! The address is: http://abovegrade.blogspot.com/
