9.58


I've been watching the Track and Field World Championships in Berlin and last night was pretty incredible! Usain Bolt broke his own world record in the 100m sprint with an amazing time of 9.58. (click HERE to read about it)

In high school I was a sprinter on the track team, running the 100m and 200m. My personal best time in the 100m was 11.14 - though it may not seem like much, it is miles away from 9.58. I truly can't believe that a human being can run that fast. The time keeps getting faster and faster.

I remember in high school watching Maurice Green break the world record with a time of 9.79 and saying, "no one is ever gonna beat that!" But someone obviously did...someone always does. Congratulations Usain Bolt!
