The Olympics start today and
I am super super excited. It is not
something I usually get over excited about.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoy
watching the odd event but not that bothered about the opening ceremony and
that sort of thing but this time I can’t wait.
I am not sure if it is
because it is here in England or what but there is buzz all around and it is
contagious. I don’t live never any of
the events but there is loads of coverage and I have lists (yes lists) of
events I want to watch. I went with part of my family to watch the Olympic flame
come through our town and I think my excitement started then. It was such a fantastic atmosphere and I
could not believe the sheer number of people who turned out.
I can’t wait to watch the
cycling and see how Great Britain get on.
Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish both did great in the Tour de France
and I can not wait to see them. I also
can’t wait to see how Laura Trott and Victoria Pendleton as it is her last
Olympics.

I really have a soft spot for
Paula Radcliffe, she comes across so friendly and likeable. I am not sure how she is going to do this
year as I think she not at her peak fitness.
I hope my work doesn’t expect
me to do much this next few weeks!!
Just kidding!
This week I have met all my
fitness aims and enjoyed them. I
switched my Wednesday lunch run to Thursday and as a result I loved spinning
even more as my legs felt stronger.
This weekend I am hoping to get back out on my bike (which
I am loving, like seriously loving), weed the garden, air the tent, cook some
tasty food, tidy the house, change the bedding, meet family and go out for
Sunday dinner. Oh and food shop!! I ALWAYS plan far to much as in the middle of
all that I want to watch the mens cycling on Saturday!
What are your plans for this
first Olympic weekend and are you looking forward to the Olympics?
