Olympic Challenge

As many of you out there - I really am not giving up on blogging, I am just watching the Olympics every free second.

This blog comes to you from the mind of my awesome husband. We have not taken on the challenge ourselves, but I think all of you should. To fully appreciate the amazing accomplishments of these athletes we have come up with the Olympic Challenge. As soon as possible go with a friend to the nearest track and time yourself in the 100 meter dash. Keep in mind that the women are running it in about 11 seconds. Next take yourself to the nearest lap pool and time yourself swimming 50 meters. Double your time and then put it up against the mens 100 freestyle which is about 53 seconds.

After you do that you can sit back and enjoy the rest of the Olympics. I know we are!

I don't think I could even run 100 meters without passing out!!! :)

I've got an even better idea. I'll go watch you and cheer and yell like I have been at the T.V. I'm up all over the den cheering them on (like they can hear me and like I'm gonna make a difference). Then you can feel like you're at the Olympics with a fan base, and I don't have to run not even one little bit! How's that sound? Spring can come cheer too!

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!! I always blame it on the side pain thing I get!! I am pretty sure I would have that pain again! :o) But I will be your cheering section with Amanda and Spring!! I'll cheer extra loud from OK so you can hear me!!
