Breaking into a light sweat



Stocking up on carbs and protein.
Celebratory glass filled.

I may not have got tickets,
and may never have excelled at lacrosse, tennis, 
netball or swimming at school
but I can roar encouragement,
and dish out expert advice for team GB on any sport now,
from the comfort of the sitting room.


Tonight Matthew I am going to be a champion heptathelete 
and runner.*


Edited to add: And so it was.

  3. An emotional day for me - I cried with the rowers who just missed gold - got excited when Jessica wons hers and felt exhausted with emotion when Mo won the 10,000m. What a day!
