//__**July 27, 2012 6:30 a.m**__// Today is the big day. This is the day that I get to show the world my abilities and skills in running track on national t.v. It’s the moment that I have been waiting for my entire career and life for that matter. It’s the start of the Olympic Games. I have been training non-stop for weeks on end just to prepare for this moment. My schedule for today is to go down to the dining hall and have breakfast, meet with the track coaches and have a team pep talk just three hours before the actual events start. I am running the 100 meter, 400 meter and 4x1 relay races. The nervousness is starting to make my stomach ache and is making me lightheaded. I am trying my best to vision the future in my head. The announcer ordering people to take their marks, get set and at the sound of the gun, I am sprinting like lightning and cross the finish line, leaving everyone else behind me. I am imagining going through each and every round to get to the medal round and finally picking up my first ever gold medal at my first ever Olympic Games here in London. I can only hope that I will do my best and all of my blood, sweat and tears will pay off.

//__**July 2812:00 a.m**__// I did it! I have finally accomplished my life long dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics! I won gold in the 100 meter and 4x1 relay and a silver medal in the 400 meter race. Overall the US representatives did fantastic with six gold medals, five silver and three bronze in total. I celebrated with my teammates and my family after the victories. I have a long couple of days ahead of me because I want to tour the city of London and go sightseeing and I want to root on fellow US Olympians that are competing in other events such as swimming, soccer, basketball and field events. I am still in shock that I had won two gold medals! In both races I out ran the second place runner by three seconds. It may not seem like a lot, but in racing it means I had a comfortable lead. No need to get cocky now. I still have to keep up with dieting, training and conditioning for future tournaments and maybe even a future Olympics. Well it’s off to bed fro me if I want to have energy for tomorrow.
