My first big race was okay. It didn't turn out how I would've liked. Everyone always dreams of going to a big venue and shattering records. That hardly happened on Friday lol. I was tired, but I also wasn't in the race. I was mentally fatigued from all the races that I'd run in the past two weeks and by the time I woke up from my daze the race was over. I found myself frustrated with a lot of things.
Regardless, I am at least healthy. I was really struggling at first, but now I have to once again calm myself and seriously begin to enjoy the ride. This moment will never pass again and I may never compete at another Olympic Game. That is what frustrated me about Friday's performance. I felt that I had missed an opportunity, but I now also know that I can't rush things. I have to train and just let things fall into place.
I am sorry this post is short, but I'm hungry. I have some Chicken Pot Pie in the oven. By the way, everything that has a crust is a pie here. So don't go to the pie section expecting Pecan or Lemon Meringue.

Michael,
I am so excited you are in China! I always knew you would amount to something special that would make your mother proud! I tried to see you in the opening program but failed. It was wonderful just knowing that you were there seeing what we were seeing! I hope that you compete well and remain healthy. Remember you are making memories that will last a lifetime so choose well. I am proud to say I know you. I will pray for you, and know that even though we can not be there to cheer for you in the stands our hearts cheer for you each day.I know you will continue to make choices that will be an example to your sisters and brothers. They have always looked up to you and not just because you are tall in stature but tall in character. Janie DeMarra
We are so proud of you! I just met your Mom and she is so excited. You are an inspiration to us all!!!!
Hi Michael!
Sweetie you sure have come along way from the scrawny young boy I met almost 10 years ago. Congratulations! I don't know if you noticed, but your Mom sure is proud of you...as we are all.
Keep your faith, and keep your chin up. I have every bit of faith that you will go far and that there isn't much that you can't do.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Cassandra A. May
