    Special Olympics USA Games

    Well my time in Orlando wrapped up not too long ago. I got sixth place in bowling singles, seventh in doubles, and fifth in teams. I had fun no matter what award I got. I was even highlighted on ABC for the autism drivers license designation I helped pass.

    Special Olympics District Basketball

    I'll be playing in the Special Olympics district basketball tournament on February 17th. We had a game last night so I got some practice in. But just like last year, the teams will be rough and tough. So it's not going to be easy.

    Special Olympics Track & Field

    I'm thinking of doing track & field for Special Olympics again. I'm not sure about doing it barefoot though. Since I prefer walking barefoot over running. What do you guys think about that?

    Special Olympics

    If there was someone from the regular Olympics who ran barefoot, could the same thing apply to Special Olympics track and field?
