As I’m writing this, there are just less than two hours left until the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics. The Olympics will officially start in Beijing at 8:08:08 on the 8/8/2008 because the number eight is considered lucky in China. Make sure you don’t miss a thing by getting your Olympics TV schedule ready.

My early tip is don’t miss the beach volleyball which is on tomorrow.

The Olympics are not without their controversies or concerns of course. There’s the uneasy politics, which hangs overhead almost as much as the thick fog/ smog. Regardless, the games still promise to be an exciting affair, and will hopefully provide you with some inspiration to get out and about yourself to increase your fitness!
