Rebecca from Here come the girls has passed on the olympic torch to me. Well not so much an Olympic torch more a meme about the Olympics, but you get the drift!

1) If every day tasks were Olympic events what would you get a gold medal in?
Multi-tasking. Going from Mum to student, to Mum, to wife, to me is all in a day's work. Sitting in a lecture planning what a family is going to eat that evening and taking notes is a skill.


2) As a child (or now even) did you excel at a particular sport and if so which one?
Yes. I played badminton at County level. I also had trials at County for high jump. I was really sporty, especially in my teenage years. I miss having that much energy. I think my son will probably be rather sporty too, he never stops bouncing around.

3) Michael Phelps (swimmer) or Michael Johnson (runner) – which sport appeals to you more?
I love running. I'm not so good at swimming, I tend to sink. Which kind of isn't the point really. I also love the post-run dying feeling which means you have exercised well (yes, I'm a sadist). So, I guess I would say running.

4) How fast can you get out of bed and ready to go out the door if miss the alarm and sleep in?
Every morning I get up at 7.20. Kids up at 7.30 and we are at the childminders (10 min drive) for 8am. I doubt I could do it much quicker than that though!

5) What fantasy sport would you like to see made into an Olympic event?
The three-legged race, obstacle race or sack race. Ooh, or a wheelbarrow race. Basically anything you used to have to do at school!
