July 5, 2008 - CAC Games, Cali, Columbia
Wasn't what I expected but, it gave me perspective on what lies ahead. Looking forward to further preparing for the games. This year has definitely been an adventure.

Things have been moving fast, leading up to my departure for Beijing. August 4th is right around the corner and the excitement of the unexpected is slowly building. I'm really starting to focus now and everyday I find myself, more and more absorb in my preparation. Its really nice having people show interest in what I do, it really encourages me to stay on the right track. I have always forgotten to enjoy the journey during past Olympic years but this time I will focus on being in the moment and enjoying every minute of it!

Today, I had a real great work out. My good friend, training partner and now coach Justin Lindsey, really put things in perspective on what I need to do from now and until I run at the games. We are both extremely excited for what lies ahead. He has been with me for the last seven years and has a good handle on what I need. I really appreciate his help.

Due to the overwhelming support, I have decided to document this Olympic experience. I have started a blog site, that will hopefully keep everyone update on my developments.
