I haven’t been watching the olympics that much, but I really like the track and field events. Two pictures that inspired me this morning after my workout (that was interrupted by a fire alarm at the Bed Stuy Y! There was something sort of comical about everyone filing out all sweaty and annoyed in their gym clothes and standing on the corner):
Usain Bolt kicking everyone’s ass in the 100 m. This guy’s unreal! He broke the world record with an untied shoe and very cocky end zone antics while he was still running.
And this one, of Lolo Jones when she caught her foot on the 9th out of 10 hurdles and blew her gold medal to finish 7th. Ouch
I’m not an olympic athlete these days, but I am starting to do yoga on a regular basis, and I can almost put my heels on the ground in downward dog! Woo! Small victories, people.
