Is anyone watching the paralympic games in Athens? I'm following some competitions and I have to say...some of them seem more impressive than the regular Olympics.

These impaired athletes, in my opinion, are the keepers of true Olympic spirit. Dopping abusing "champions" should mirror themselves in those amazing men and women and change their ways.

One of my favorite parts of the Disney Half Marathon was when the wheelchair racers went zooming past us on Mile 4 as we were starting mile 2 (the course ran parallel to itself for about a mile). They got lots of whooping and cheering from the spectators and other athletes. Fun! [Smile]
