Rather than running the day after giving blood, I played tennis (badly) for an hour #lazyrunner

While on the subject of tennis I want to have a small rant. This week Nike UK advertised a couple of “ballots” on twitter. The first was for the opportunity to meet and have a hit with Roger Federer and the second with Serena Williams.

Now as a tennis fan, player and volunteer, I submitted my details and waited for the outcome of each “ballot”…

Predictably my 100 per cent failure rate with Nike “ballots” continued and I was unsuccessful in both.

Thanks Nike UK! It’s good to see tennis volunteers being given these great opportunities. It’s not really a “ballot” when several people entered and were instantly allocated places is it?

On a far more positive note I watched the first part of the documentary on Sean Conway’s attempt to run the length of Britain.

Sean previously cycled the length of Britain and more recently swam the length of Britain.

What a huge inspiration!
