		<title>2012 Train Leaves the Station</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My 2012 London Olympic Games train left the station last Saturday. In other words, not only did I begin my 2012 season but I began down the final stretch towards London and the Olympics. Considering that I missed qualifying for Beijing, this has been four years in the making. With that said, and although every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing Versus Trying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Yeah, I thought it and I achieved it&#8230;&#8220; &#8216;Doing&#8217; is very distinct from &#8216;trying.&#8217; It&#8217;s so distinct, that the mindset you decide to approach an undertaking with, that you&#8217;re going to do or you&#8217;re going to try (to do), can make all the difference in the outcome of that undertaking. My approach when it comes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nou Pap Lage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been exactly two years to the day, since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake ravaged Haiti, which was without a doubt much maligned even before the natural disaster. An estimated 220,000 Haitians lost their lives that day with over 1.5 million losing their homes. Still, even two years later, over 500,000 people reside in camps [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year, New Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2012 is finally here&#8230; I keep saying that I need to blog on a more frequent and more consistent basis, and I really do mean it when I say it; let&#8217;s see if I can actually get the ball rolling in 2012 though. In any case, for this first blog post of 2012 I just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easing Into Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[239 Days to Go. That&#8217;s what the countdown on the London 2012 website reads now and although it seems like the Games of the XXX Olympiad are right around the corner, I have to fight back my anxiety. I&#8217;m sure other athletes preparing for next summer are doing the same thing because although the utmost [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Back on the Horse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daegu was disappointing to say the least and I’ve been underground a bit since then. Considering the fact that I was in the best shape of my life (thus far) having jumped near or farther than 17 meters from a short approach on two separate occasions, I really can’t even explain how or why I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Checking in From Daegu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been in Daegu since Wednesday and am starting to get my legs under me; finally. Getting here was a story in and of itself considering the fact that it took just under 27 hours, but I&#8217;m fortunate to not have to compete for the first time until Friday. My teammate Moise on the other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Countdown to Daegu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The World Championships are literally around the corner at this point and I can&#8217;t wait. I&#8217;m as ready as I&#8217;ve ever been and will be even more prepared come the qualifying round. Since my last blog post, I took the New York State bar exam up in Albany, NY which was far from fun as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally Back to Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been about a month since I last stepped on the runway and just as much time since I shared a new blog post. I&#8217;m hoping to be doing both of those things a little more regularly (even if it&#8217;s once every other week). Last weekend though, I made my way down to the Bahamas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Round 2 With Rio de Janeiro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made my second trip to Rio de Janeiro last week, this time for the Grande Premio Brasil Caixa de Atletismo which was an IAAF World Challenge competition. My first time to Rio was 4 years ago for the Pan American Games and considering the fact that I didn&#8217;t even make the finals back then, I [...]]]></description>
