O the Olympics

So like most Canadians I wonder when/if we will ever win a medal. I know we will, but it seems every athlete they say has a good chance at a medal, fails to come through. I'm not blaming the athletes, it's just disappointing. However, watching the Olympics brings back memories of watching when we were kids. During the Olympics, we were allowed to watch TV a lot. We lived in front of the TV. We would come home from school, read the paper to see who won and what was coming up, quickly do our chores, then plant ourselves infront of the TV. We were allowed to do our homework in front of the TV. It was great. There was one winter Olympics in Japan I think, and Canada was playing in the middle of the night and Dad woke us up so we could watch the hockey game.
There's just this thing about the Olympics. I love watching all the different sports, it give me a desire to be better at something. (It also make me wonder if I would be really good at something if I really focused on it and trained for it.) I also feel a little yearning from the sporty part of me to get back into sports. I always loved sports and being athletic, and I like pushing myself. I definitely believe 'no pain, no gain' when it comes to working out.
Maybe I'll go to the gym tomorrow.
