US Track & Field Team Falls Down at Olympics

Let's face it. We are used to world dominance. This Olympics it didn't happen. We appeared human...almost vulnerable....but as a distance runner I had goosebumps as a 21-year-old Kenyan won the first Olympic gold for his country...can you believe it? Kenya had never won Olympic gold...with all those unbelieveable distance runners....and the Americans....9th and 10th but with respectable times....who thought anyone would run an Olympic record time in that heat and humidity...I really thought that lead pack went out WAAAAAAAY too fast and would die...the only one who paid the price was the poor Morrocan who came in fourth after being past in the last 400m by his own countryman....I'm inspired...let's really try to inspire our youth so in 4 or 8 or 12 years the track & field competition will be again dominated by Americans minus the steroids.....

Run Happy...and fast as you can!!!
