It is that time of year again... well time of every two years. The world comes together for the Olympics. I wish that I had enough vacation to take the whole two weeks off and just watch all day and all night long.
I am a competitive person and watching the world's best compete head to head is awesome. I know there are those out there who think that the winter games are not exciting, or not as exciting as the summer games. They obviously are not watching what I am.
Skiers racing down mountains at 80 miles per hour. Faster than we're allowed to drive on most freeways (except in Wyoming and Montana and a few other states). Imagine being out there on nothing but 2 six foot long fiber glass sticks that you are clipped into! Same with bobsledding and the luge. Crazy stuff.
That's not even getting into ski jumping; those athletes go like 100 yards in the air... that's a football field! There is also ice skating, speed skating, hockey, curling and that one where they cross country ski and shoot things.
In other news, my weight watchers is going well. I've been doing my hair in the morning and just last night finally bought make up that isn't too tan for my winter skin! I've also decided to run the Chicago Rock n Roll Half Marathon in August! I'll start training for that in the next month or so and I'm sure I'll share the details of my struggle to compete in a race for the first time since 7th grade gym class.
Also I'm signed up on Google Buzz... I didn't really have a choice they just put it in my inbox one morning. So ya'll can catch daily updates there.
Have a good weekend and happy Mardi Gras!!!
