The countdown

So, where were you and what were you doing a year out from the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremonies?

As most athletes and coaches training for the games know, today was the year mark. There were festivities in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. I am sure the celebration in China was fabulous even though all was quiet here in the states.

Are we all getting excited for the Games? I suggest booking your tickets/hotels/event tickets sooner than later. This is the time that things start to sell out. I believe a lot of the larger hotels in Beijing's center are selling out quickly.

In honor of today I spent the entire morning and afternoon/evening training, sweating, and thinking of Beijing.

A big toast to Beijing! :) I hope we are all there together a year from now.
