Just a couple gals from Iowa.

I can't wait to see the Olympic venues. I'm getting so excited. I'm thinking we may need a virtual race to celebrate. Anybody else excited for 08/08/08 and the Olympics to start? How about another 8 on the 8th: Virtual Olympics. Anyone game?

I'm thinking I'm going to have to watch them this year... now that I'm so invested in running... Maybe I can get some more motivation!
I'm down with an 8 on the 8th. Hell, I may even wear a LZR suit I stole from the trials. :)
8 on the 8th sounds great since it's 08.08.08.
8 on the 8th! I'm in!
8 on the 8th - that would be cool. It would be my first virtual race. . . . I am not sure if my mileage would be up to that yet but count me in!
I would love to do a 8 on 8th. Sounds like fun. Count me in
I never watched Olympics before.... maybe this year I'll check out the track and field and marathon.
I hope I'll be fully foot-recovered for the 8 on the 8th!! YAY!
SOOOOOO cool! Man, am I jealous!
I could probably squeeze in an 8 on the 8th...it's like the Worldwide Half (http://www.worldwidehalf.com/cgi-bin/wwhalf/home).
I love the summer games...especially the swimming!
OMG! What a wonderful idea and great way to kick of the Olympics! I am SOOOO in! SWEEEET!
I think I might have to sit out on this one :-( Dang it! I *think* I have a race on that day. If not, you know I'll be there ;-)
Ive been really into the swimming trials. Olympics and the Tour de France. I am in tri geek heaven
I'm down with 8 on the 8th!! Bring it on, sistah!!
That's a great idea. Not sure if my legs will be working again by then though. I'm planning on vacation time after the half IM on 8/2.
Normally would be all over it, except we're in Newfoundland on the 8th. It's not China but I'm looking forward to it.
Great Idea! I am in. I was hooked on to the trials.
*tee hee* how about 16 on the 8th?
Or, if someone wants to slack, I'll do your 8 after I do my 8 :-). Just don't expect negative splits!
Cannot wait for the Olys!!!!
I'm in!
Oohhh I hope I can still run 8 at this point. Would you take 4+4?
My training schedule actually has me down for 8 on 8/9/08, so I'm in for 8 on the 8th-ish!
sigh...I was going to boycott them this year. But now I'm keen on watching the running.
8 on the 8th might be good...i need to check my race calendar.
how about dana torres, 41 yrs old and ROCKING the swim!!! wooot
I am game for 8 on the 8th. I'll have to check the calendar and see what's on my schedule for that day.
I would love to. I think I have to split it up though. I'm due for 6miler around that time.
You got me real excited just from reading this post. I can't wait for another virtual race!
I'm also real excited for the Olympics. Hopefully my TV will get good enough reception. ;-)
As long as we're not being scored on our dismount technique, I'm in!
This is so exciting--it'll be my first Nancy race. :)
Btw, I was born in Iowa. Does that make me awesome too?
I'm game!! I can't wait for the Olympics!!
Im SOSOSOOSOSO excited as well.
so's my Toddler :)
I'll be there flying my Canadian flag FOR SURE!!
BTW, 8K or 8 miles, just asking!!!
I am in for the 8 on the 8th....run walk for me though...
I always say I am not watching the olympics but always end up being sucked in.
I always say I'm going to participate in your virtual race... but something always comes up and I have yet to actually do it. Maybe this time will be different.
:)
That date is begging for a race! Especially if you can run it at an 8:08 pace.
Hi, another Marci, sent here by Marcy. What is an 8 on 8 virtual race. It sounds like fun.
I love the Olympics and I love your virtual races - I'm up for both!
We should all carry torches!
I'm definitely in for the virtual race. Hope you're having a fabulous time right now over there! Come back with some great ideas for the race :)
That's a great idea Nancy!
I'd be in for an 8 on the 8!! too cool.
I have a 5K on the 9th, so no can do, but I'll cheer you on!
Sounds like fun will join you for 8 on the 8th
How about everyone does at least 8 min miles for 8 miles on the 8? Tere are 3 8's there after all.
That'll work!
Have fun in China, it's a crazy place!
I might have to miss the 8 on the 8th virtual -- my first virtual DNS. I'm afraid that weekend's going to be a bust as far as running goes.
Isn't the 8th on a Friday? My kids have dentist appointments on that day, so I am pretty sure it's a Friday.
Don't know if I can make it.....
I SOOO want her abs!!
Yay! Another virtual race! I'm so in, even if it's less than a week after my marathon. Hope you're having fun in China, Nancy!
Hoping we will get some reasonable television coverage of the Olympics.
Oh Nanc that is a great ideal! I will only be reffered to as Kara Goucher's twin for that race. HAHAHA!
I'm so there... bring home the gold!
Yes fired up about the Olympics !! and 8th race on that day great idea, I'm in!
I'm so excited for the Olympics to start! Doing 8 on the 8th is a great way to get it going! I'm in!!
I'm so IN! I love the summer Olympics!!!! I'll be tied to the TV during them.
Nancy, I am in! Now that Jenny mapped out my lake course with her Garmin, I have an exact one mile loop - I'll do 8 of them on the 8th to celebrate with you! Woo hoo!
Wowowowow! Those pictures are really inspirational!
Hmmm, virtual Olympics. So who's going to be running the marathon event?! >;-) Sounds like fun. Which events will you all be doing?!
