Supposedly tonight's edition of Extreme Makeover:Home Edition will include a boy getting a track themed room filled with equipment donated by Gill Athletics.

It's on ABC tonight at 8/7c.

And if I'm wrong don't blame me :P

An in-law lives in a town where they did a house last year. She said that they actually have the architects working on the design a year in advance but just make it look like it's done in a week.

yeah they did it, the kid was a hurdler, so they had a track surface as his floor and the curve of the track went onto the wall where there were hurdlers. His bed was framed by hurdles, and he had other track stuff around the room.

It was probably Mondo, which would be fine to walk on barefoot.

For the past 5 years I have done Relay For Life. we have a competition to see who can last longest running on the track barefoot. I dont think anyone was bleeding, but some skin was lost and our feet were very very red
