My Olympic torch experience has come and gone but the memory will last a lifetime. It was awesome!!!!!! What an adrenaline rush! And very emotional - I had an overwhelming sense of pride and honour. Words can't even express how I felt as I ran with the Olympic torch or what the whole experience meant to me. I met some great people and all the torch bearers and organizers were so excited and upbeat. Now we have the torch I ran with sitting in our living room. It is in a carrying case I received with my torch as I am waiting for the torch stand I purchased. I still cannot believe I participated in this historic event. Here are a ton of photos, and some video, that were taken by Chris and me. I will be able to download the media photos in approximately 2 weeks and will upload those to the blog as well.
