I love the Olympics and with Tivo I won't miss a thing. I love watching gymnastics, swimming, diving, equestrian, I love it all. In the past I marveled as swimmers broke records and a gymnast stuck it off the pommel with a sprained ankle. To me it looked effortless. Now I know better. Watching Michael Phelps win his first gold of these Olympics was amazing, he swims like a seal, all muscle; reading about Dara Torres, a forty one year old woman in her fifth Olympics was almost unbelievable. Her rock hard body is a force to be reckoned with and, for me personally, she is a hero.
I do my Pilates, and hope that my disc shrinks; I'm getting stronger every day. Watching the Olympics puts an extra giddy-up in my step as I go to the pool. During my Pilates class I can feel my muscles working and growing stronger every session. I know I'll never be a world class athlete, but that doesn't stop me from feeling a little Olympic Fever.
