Current Standings

Now that the Blog Olympics 2006 are over it's time to start training for the 2007 games.

You must stay in shape, on top of your game, master of your domain. The climb to Olympic stardom is steep, you better start practicing, but how?

Twice a month I'll host or announce Olympic training camps. They will comprise of one activity that is geared to help you excel in the activities at Blog Olympics 2007. Look here on the first and fifteenth of every month.

Are you in? Can you handle the pressure? Can you walk in the footsteps of Uisce and Running2Ks? Do you have what it takes to be a Blog Olympian?

The first camp starts February 15, 2006. More details to follow, watch this space.

Award-winning reporter Lazy Daisy already has some rumors to report.

If you are a former Olympian and interested in guest hosting a training camp, please email me.
Please leave any questions or comments in the comment area of this post.

Meanwhile, a famed former Olympian is site of the day over at Michele's.
