I am in awe of Olympic altheletes. Can you imagine having that amazing of a body and being capable of achieving world records? I am amazed by Michael Phelps (as is everyone), and the entire US Men's swim team. Watching both men's and women's gymnastics was great, even though neither team won gold... I am actually really impressed by China's gymnasts... they deserve their winnings.
I heard on the radio that Mr. Phelps consumes 10,000 calories a day to keep his body going since he works out 5, 6, or more hours EVERY day. I am pretty sure that I could consume this amount of food, but I wouldn't then have time to workout for 6 hours. When does he find the time to eat so much? If I could borrow his metabolism for a day, I would be so happy!
I am proud watching our teams compete and wish them continued success in Bejing.

He truly is amazing and inspirational.
Hi Christine! Thanks for your comments.
I just heard about the 10,000 calorie diet yesterday. Crazy! However, that does sound like the fun part... the working out, not so much!
