Update, running, tennis, olympics
Jun3020118:07 a.m.
Just a quick update from me rather than going weeks with nothing.
Running, yes of course, same old routine but don't you just love the warm weather at the moment. Remember it when November comes and you have to worry about layers and staying dry.
Tennis, spectating not playing, we have tickets tomorrow for the mens semi finals on centre court. We always apply in the ballot and have had a pair of tickets 5 out of the last 6 years. Quite random the day you might get but this year I think we have hit a great day.
Olympics hasn't been talked about too much on most of the blogs I read but I guess quite a few of us applied for tickets. I have managed to get a pair of tickets for badminton and also an evening session in the athletics stadium which includes the 10,000 metres final so really pleased with that.
Enjoy the weekend and the sun.

Firefly123 'I've never applied for tickets for the Tennis, but maybe I should next year. We've got some for the 2nd round of the Olympic tennis on court 1 and also some for the athletics (ladies 10,000m final, I think).' added 30th Jun 2011

simonedumergue 'Gosh, great opportunity to get along to Wimbledon tomorrow - wonderful! Very behind on blogging myself - read your last post just now about your recent holiday running. I just LOVE going somewhere new and having new routes to explore and as you say even short runs when fitting it around family still feels worthwhile. Enjoy tomorrow :-)' added 30th Jun 2011

kraftykat 'Enjoy the tennis tomorrow, will be a great match. And well done with the Olympics tickets too. I managed to get badminton semi finals so really pleased, but missed out on any athletics so was a bit disappointed with that. But, guess I'm luckier than a lot of folk.' added 30th Jun 2011

SeanG 'Enjoy the tennis semi-finals. Wow, it seems like you have got the magic touch when it comes to the ballots. Not too fussed about the Olympics but I wouldn't mind being there for the 10,000m and see Mo run. I think he is in with a really good shout of getting a medal and if his form continues it could well be a gold one.' added 30th Jun 2011

moose10 'I hopre the tennis lived upto the expectations. Great news on the olympic tickets. We weren't so fortunate and the second round attempt was even more frustrating than the first. I was briefly up and around the lake district a couple of weeks ago and was really breath taking' added 3rd Jul 2011
