Have a few drinks and it will all come back into focus.

Could you post a photo which was blurred? It might help people to help you avoid the problem in the future. Don't feel bad about a missed chance. I'm sure it'll be a long time before I get this chance again

One of the most common reasons for blurred pictures is being too close to the subject. The closer you are the faster the shutter speed has to be. Far better to take a picture further away and then edit. Another cause is camera shake, this is where image stablisation comes into its own, either within the camera or in the lens. Its not the total solution but can definately help.
With pictures of something in motion either the background has to give way to a blur due to tracking the subject, or the subject matter conversly has to give way to blurring due to the background being in focus. to get both together has to be a compromise in a lot of cases.
if you look at the exif data on the greyhound picture I posted ( http://www.yophotographer.com/page.php?t=3777&page=2 )you will see the shutter speed was 1/2000 sec at 62mm on my old Nikon D70s and really that wasn't fast enough. You really do need a very high shutter speed for freezing close moving subjects, which is one reason I bought the Nikon D200 which goes up to 1/8000sec. One of the fastest shutter speed cameras around in that price bracket.
When choosing a camera you have to take into consideration which type of photos you want to shoot as part of the weighing up process of purchase.
