Calm....

Off day today. Light practice and stretcher for the team just sticking to routine. I had a couple hours in the day so I finished moving out of my digs at the Univ of East London. The subway ride was crowded but eventful. I ran into a group of Korean fans coming from the ExCeL center where they have been doing a variety of sports like fencing and maybe table tennis and other things. A coupe of them were decked out and I loved seeing them support their team like that. They interacted with subway riders and even had a photo session with one of the kids who was watching events with his dad.

Walked around the Olympic Park a little and took in some of the sights, the people and the whole thing. The basketball arena was lit up tonight and it looks great with the shadows and silhouettes of the structure inside. Honestly during the day it is pretty boring but I'm a fan of how it comes alive at night. It's almost two different buildings.

There have been a lot of inspiring performances by American athletes/teams and athletes from GB and around the world. Our beach volleyball team of Kerri Walsh and Misty May won their third straight gold medal, the OT win for the women's soccer team over Canada and each day more inspiring performances. The theme of these Olympic Games in London have been "Inspire a Generation". I know that has happened during these games but each performance inspires the current generation of Olympians to achieve greatness as well. Our team has the chance to both be inspired and also to inspire as we play for Gold tomorrow.

Send your good vibes to the team while they sleep. I have been truly blessed to be along for the ride with such an amazing team and even more, an amazing group of people.

Thumbs up for great opportunities.
