Exhausted Beyond Words...

Yesterday Kai decided to search for my gray hairs. While combing through my hair she found three (the very three that she gave me). I'm sure there are more but I stopped her at three because really, no one needs to know exactly how many gray hairs they have right?

The past few days have been busy with waking up early(-ish) to run, staying up late for the events, and trying to stay awake for the long commute back home. We have two more full days in Rio and a long day of travel coming up, but right now I am exhausted beyond words. Between that and my three gray hairs I realize I've reached my "no longer a spring chicken" phase in life. 

On Tuesday I ran...

Then we went to see Christ the Redeemer...

I saw this piece of art from the first day at the stadium and finally got to take a picture with it (too bad it was broken though)...

The athletic events did not disappoint and we were ecstatic when Jamaica won a gold medal in the Men's 110m hurdles..

That moment when your eyes are glued to the screen for the instant replay ;)

On Wednesday I ran with my brother-in-law along the beach...

And then later in the day we headed back to the stadium for another great night in athletics including a really nice view of the medal ceremony for the Men's 110m hurdles...

And, of course, the Women's 200m finals and the Men's 200m semi-finals were incredible! But I was busy cheering screaming my support so unfortunately I don't have any pictures from those events. After the events we had another long journey back home. I went to bed exhausted and woke up the same so I didn't run this morning. Sometimes your body needs a break and this morning was one of those times for me. 

Tonight will be another great (albeit late) night in Olympics Athletics with the Men's 200m finals. I can't wait!!!!
