As an athlete, Its often good to have that focus, single mindedness, paying absolute attention to your objective. Today I went to church, to a family ward, and I asked to have my records moved from the singles ward. This seems counter productive to me finding someone to date and marry, but I have felt that its time for me to learn a new skill, Family Mindedness. So thats what I am going to do. Since its Sunday that is my religious blurb. At fast and testimony meeting today it occured to me how individually and personally God is aware of each of us, especially, Me.
Now, On to the focus of my moment, Olympic trials. I just watched Dara Torres swim and amazing 50 m and make it into the final. I hope she makes it to the Olympics again, she is my hero and she has already done incredible things. Make it or not, She is amazing and inspiring. You know already this week we have seen failed comeback attempts of many former Olympians. Its not an easy feat to accomplish. Janet Evans failed, Amanda Beard failed. Thomas Finchum failed, and I am pretty sure I am about to watch Nastia Liuken fail. But you know what, No matter how much the media says some of these people humiliated themselves with their comeback attempts, I disagree. Good on them for trying, for leaving nothing to question, No, hey if I would have tried, could I have done one more Olympics? Also they showed us how hard this really is, and sometimes thats good to realize. Tomorrow will be Dara Torres final, I pray she makes it. Tomorrow will also be the tie breaker for the dead heat in running. This has been an exciting trials, I have no doubt that it will be an amazing Olympics. Commentating has been hit or miss, but tonight they were a little better. for the next 27 days I will be sharing Olympic memories from the past, in preparation and lead up to the opening ceremonies. To all the athletes who have qualified, no matter how big or small your country, Good luck, and Cool runnings to you!
