Fellow Warrior Dana Ellis who is a past Canadian Olympian is blogging about her preparation for the 2008 Beijing games at Raising the Bar.

She started Monday and has two posts so far. She talks about each day, which, as you might expect, consists of a lot of training and recovery.

She also touches on the cultural environment. I liked this part in her post Southern Comfort:

Sushi is one of the healthier choices when eating out, but normally Louisiana staples include fried catfish, fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried chicken… do you notice a theme here? Russ and I cook at home a lot!

Dana placed sixth in pole vault in the last Olympics, and there is much hope for her this time around.
