Olympic Fever

For most Canadians the Olympic spirit is spreading across the country and into our cities whether we like it or not. Lucky for me I'm an Olympic junky and I get this kid-like excitment every two years when they roll around so I'm pumped :). Even more fun is to be had this time around though because Canada is hosting them ... so no one can escape the Olympic fever!! muhaha.
Needing to feel apart of the Games and knowing that attending them this time around was impossible (yes I'm implying one day I will be able to attend!!) I wasn't going to miss the torch run in Winnipeg. Knowing not many people would bare the elements of a Winnipeg winter to see something they liked let alone a little torch being lite, I tried to reason out the historic moment that we could be apart of (hard to see it when the possibility of frost bitten toes is in the equation). Lucky for me I was able to drag two great friends - Colleen and Eric out to share in my ridiculous excitement over the torch. The weather couldn't have been better all things considered and it definitely satisfied my craving to be a part of 2010. So as the excitement builds and the athletes prep I hope that everyone can enjoy a little or a lot of the Olympic spirit because it truly is one of most powerfully and world-unifying events!

"Hosting an Olympic Games means evoking history and are the quadrennial celebration of the human spirit" P.C.
