i realized i havent talked about the olympics..how dare i not blog about them?
THEY HAVE MY FAVORITE THING EVER TO WATCH. ALL THE GAMES. ok not all. a lot are just GAY.
my favorites include track and field, fencing, swimming, archery, equestrian, gymnastics, and the triathlon
ive been glued to the tv today because fencing, swimming and archery are on
:sigh: i really wish i was there. i mean i know i sound like such a cheeseball BUT I REALLY WISH I COULD'VE PARTICIPATED IN AN OLYMPIC event. since it's too late for menow, im just gonna live through my kids and hopefully make them obsessed about and GOOD at a sport so they can participate in the olympics in the future.
i'm so serious.
see that's another plan i have for my kids. i totally think im gonna own and rule their lives. NOT GOOD. there's gonna be a father in their life and lots of other variables..oh and wait like, theirown free will HELLO
so anyways. at least i feel cool about something. one of the track and field participants is an american somalian muslim guy named Abdi Abdurrahman. he's from arizona. anyway HE WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING IN ONE OF THE SAME EVENTS AS MYSELF LIKE 4 MONTHS AGO. obviously i didnt see him. there were 30,000 people at that event. but i still feel cool. LIKE HEY I RAN THE SAME EVENT AS AN OLYMPIAN!!!
he was so fast..he got first place out of 30,000 people. i remember people were talking about how the people who are supposed to cheer you on at the finish line hadnt even set up their chairs and posters, thinking it was too early because it'd be a while before people came running through but sure enough there was this guy and everyone was like wow
so i read up on his training regime on here http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=67613/bio/index.html ...and the dude runs like 140 to 150 miles a week. ok, that's like INSANE. like 20-25 miles a freaking day. i want to show off if i get in 30 miles per week.
sigh.
i have an inferiority complex as a result of watching the olympics. womens swimming and fencing was sooooooo cooool..all these super strong, fast women...my age too. :sigh:
