I missed most of the track events because our cabin was totally off the grid, and her result is one I'd forgotten to look up when I got back. SO happy to hear this.<br /><br />Ugh, I'm sorry this PT/return to running pain-free process has been so up and down. Just keep persevering. It's two steps forward, one back.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-87197826511622319952012-08-14T10:46:46.442-07:002012-08-14T10:46:46.442-07:00Great Olympics summary!
Unfortunately I missed ...Great Olympics summary! <br /><br />Unfortunately I missed the 4x100 womens race, I was at another event I think. Great record! <br /><br />Cheers to Felix indeed, she deserved it!<br /><br />As for Bolt, I didn't see any interviews with him due to the Olympics, but to me he can say whatever he wants since he is one of the best track athletes of all time. I'd put him up there with Emil Zapotek and Carl Lewis for greatest track athlete of all time.<br />http://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/la-spw-oly-hersh-medals-20120731,0,4526685.story<br /><br />http://www.topendsports.com/events/summer/medal-tally/rankings-sports-athletics.htm<br /><br />Phelps is indeed amazing, he is definitely the greatest swimmer of all time, and I'd likely say he is the greatest Olympian of all time as well. <br /><br />Real bummer about Hall indeed, I wanted to see him compete up with Meb. <br /><br />I want to watch the US-Canada womens soccer semfinal game, do you know where I could watch that game online or TV? <br /><br />Thanks for your messages during the Olympics, it was amazing. I am really bummed its over. It is the greatest sports event in the world, and I won't be able to top that again.

I feel like I've been a zombie the last 13 days as I stay up until midnight just to watch some random sport that most likely, I live-streamed during the day.

Also very sad that I had to miss the closing ceremony because I was on the road. I'm hoping a friend PVRd it and I can go watch :)<br /><br />I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the greatest Olympian though - I would argue that Clara Hughes is the greatest Olympian thus far. Multiple medals in both Summer and Winter games spanning from 1996 to 2010, finished 5th in the time trial despite having a broken vertebrae, has spoken publicly about her battles with depression to try to take some of the taboo out of mental illness, and is a Right to Play ambassador extraordinaire. I know she doesn't have as many medals as Phelps...but she's pretty great. <br /><br />Good luck at the PT!kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240103557027301457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-44680912593700741942012-08-12T23:06:48.119-07:002012-08-12T23:06:48.119-07:00I like the rolling out plank thing where you slide...I like the rolling out plank thing where you slide your body over the ball.<br /><br />Take care of that groin thing! play it SAFE, woman!XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-47966992638839209182012-08-12T19:06:14.392-07:002012-08-12T19:06:14.392-07:00Nice recap on the Olympics..I agree with you and a...Nice recap on the Olympics..I agree with you and am so happy to be going to bed early.
