    Woke up a little later than I would’ve liked today but this Sleep Number Bed literally sucks you in, and how can anyone turn down a deep, comfy sleep?!
    No big deal though.

    I did a small wake-up workout in the hotel pool and walked down to Ouellette Ave. to find a local coffee shop (The Coffee Exchange). I decided to take a quick walk around the downtown. Other than a few business names, not too much has changed in this area since I lived here in 2003.

    I picked up my registration package and smiled as I always do, when I saw my last name printed on the competition numbers.
    It hits me: I’m at Olympic Trials …

    And really it’s the littlest things that make all the hype seem legit.

    Carla arrives tonight; I am really looking forward to having my coach here.
    I trained at the indoor track at the university at 7:30pm tonight. The skies opened up around 8. It was thunder, lightning and rain for a good solid five hours.
    It should clean the track off real good, and by competition time tomorrow I expect to see some sunshine.
    There are a lot more athletes around now. The ice machine is working overtime and there is a rainbow of spandex in the hotel. I have got a few text messages from other competitors, letting me know they have arrived safe and sound. I don’t know what to expect Saturday, but I know I’m ready to leave it all out there.
