Found myself rooting on the former olympic athlete on Biggest Loser

Did I ever imagine I would enter a new world of having a great appreication for "hardcore  athlete type training"? The answer is.... never in a million years!!

 Last night as I watched this season's Biggest Loser, my attention grew quickly for the former Olympic athlete on the show. I quickly realized I could now relate to working hard and training hard to reach an athletic goal. I'm on the other side of completing a marathon and feel a little dazed on the "what now" sort of stage. Needless to say, it was a boost I needed. I hope he goes far in the contest! He won last night's challenge so we will see!

I know what you mean!  Never did I think the "A" word (athlete) would apply to me.  I have to limit my running to 5k due to arthritis, but the only time I would've ever run in the past was if I was being chased!

I too am impressed with this guy....and he proves how if you stop doing what you need to do, you can go right back to where you were.  I am rooting for him!
