In a way...I definitely can't sit there munching on a donut, watching these athletes run/bike/swim their hearts out! And yeah, it does totally motivate me to get my butt moving!
Too bad Canada isn't doing too great so far, but I'm sure we'll get better!

Canadians athletes have a lot riding against them...They are called politicians!

I never watched the olympics at all until this year.
I could not believe my eyes watching the men holding their bodies parallel to the floor while all they had to hold on to were a couple of rings.
Wow!

That can inspire you and if it does that is great, but what really inspired me was a story in our local newspaper that I read about a month ago, it showed a man that was in his 70's who could do somewhere around 30 or more pull-ups !
Now THAT was inspiring because I figured if it was possible for him to be in such good shape at that age, then I surely could get in even better shape myself, my goal is to get to where I can do at least 30 pull-ups or more, I haven't found a place to start yet so I don't yet know how many I can do right now, but I have been lifting weights so I should be able to get off to a reasonable start.
