Went over to Kerrie's house today for a little viewing party of the Olympic Marathon Trials with Miss
Kerrie and
Karla. All I can say is WOW. These athletes are amazing! We marveled at the speed of the men AND women, the bikini bottoms of the women, the compression socks, the swim cap-like hats, the dude with the spandex shorts that cut his junk in two
(NOT a good look BTW), the sunny loop course, the awesome finishes, and the "ugly" crying. It was just too cool to see all those athletes cheering for each other, motivating each other and just being happy for the Olympic team.
What did we do after watching the marathon? We went for a little 3 mile trail run with Kerrie's youngest boxer, Bennie. We weren't going to watch super runners and NOT want to go running after. Geez! ;)
The run was quick, cold, beautiful and it smelled like evergreens. Perfection!
Proceed with photographic proof of the events...
