2012 has been a year for sporting events.  We’ve had Euro 2012, Wimbledon has just come to a close and the start of the Olympics is shortly upon us.  Yes, 2012 is THE year for sporting events.  But, to a self-confessed couch potato, it’s a year in which has had me making New Years’ resolutions (in July I tell you!) to embrace the sporting enthusiasm of the nation and to get fit!  Now although my intention is well meant, the actual putting into practice is another matter. Obviously, walking a bit more every day is the perfect start for a novice like me, so that’s what I shall do, I mean, I’m sure all those extra laps to the hotel vending machine will be doing me the world of good!
