Thriving

Earlier in the year we cleaned the pond and split the lilies to give them more room in their pots.

It's worked; they are thriving and producing more leaves and flowers than we have seen for a couple of years.

By covering the pond they are keeping the light down so less algi grows too.

My running has also benefited from all the walking and exercise I got in Glasgow.

I went to my running club tonight for the interval running session and I ran very consistent efforts until the last one. In the last effort I really went for it and ran my fastest split of the session. Very pleasing.

There are so many parallels with London 2012. I've had a great time, I feel great, and I have a hospital appointment coming up!

Looking forward to seeing Dad, my sister and brother tomorrow.
