Most times I think sport is one among the last few "clean" things in the world today, doping & fixing notwithstanding. Watching a sport you love or playing it is an unparalleled sensation. At least on my part, watching a world class athlete perform energizes me, gets the adrenaline going and makes me put on my running shoes.

Watching the French Open over the weekend, Roger Federer continues to amaze but I also lapped up matches featuring some of the other equally brilliant athletes. Nikolay Davydenko's staggering court speed, Sharapova's power hitting, Nicole Vaidisova's....well Nicole Vaidisova, Tommy Robredo's guts, Nadal's sheer power and Ana Ivanovic's spunk. They all seem to leap out of the screen at you.

So I intend running a little bit harder and eating a little bit better.
