I LOVE the SUMMER OLYMPICS I think there is more that I enjoy watching in the summer olympics than the winter. Today while I was at work doing breakfast at the hotel I watched the men's Triathlon and I was so AMAZED at how far these men had run and they make it look so easy.
Let me reminisce for a moment. On April 19, 2007 my sisters and I ran a half marathon. Well when I got closer to the finish line I just felt this overwhelming emotion starting to well up in my eyes. I didn't cry however, that would just take too much energy. Well later on I was talking to Rhonda and she said that she bawled the last stretch running for the finish line.
Well today I saw a German athlete sprint to the finish line, once he got there he just fell to the ground in exhaustion, smiling and laughing. I felt that emotion start to come again just like when I was in the half marathon. I don't know him but I was happy for him and I could feel his happiness and little of his pain. It makes me want to do a triathlon. (darla sorry I didn't do one this year)

I wanna do a triatholon too...I couldn't do the one with Darla because it was just too soon after the half marathon...it would have been too much for this wimp to train for.
I want to do a triathlon. It would be a lot of work and dedication.... but man, it would be awesome to accomplish!
