Kicks n Giggs

So last night I was invited to the Asics Secret Gig at uber cool Mangle in Hackney.

There'd been a lot of hype about who the top secret headliner was going to be - and I wasn't disappointed. Well..to be honest, once I'd googled him I wasn't disappointed (massively showing my age and lack of musical cred right now).

With the moscow mules flowing, and my amazing new Asics Gel Chameleon trainers in hand (they actually change colour), Giggs appeared and the night took off.

I was obviously more interested in the photo booth ;-)

But heading home before midnight, just call me Cinderella meant that I was up bright and early for tennis game in my new kicks.

My Sunday hanging out with Martina - Aloha!

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited by Maui Jim sunglasses to the Wimbledon Club for a day of tennis, cream tea and sunglasses - how could I refuse?!

On arrival the weather was looking a bit dodgy but luckily we were provided with tea, sandwiches, and a whole host of cakes before having to head out onto the courts - I'm pretty sure this is how Roger prepares for most of his big games. I made sure I wasn't snapped devouring the red velvet cake, us nutritionists have a rep to protect!

So carb-loaded and raring to go (I managed to resist the pre-match Pimms), we headed down onto the courts where the pocket rocket that is Martina Hingis was waiting to whip us into tip top tennis shape.   What a power house she is - you can see why despite being half the size of Serena and Venus she's just won two doubles titles at Wimbledon this year having come out of retirement for the second time!

Showing Martina how it's done!

We then sweated it out on the courts for a couple of hours - no wonder tennis players have such amazing legs, it really is quite a workout! By which time we'd earned some well deserved Pimms and more cake, strawberries and cream (Sundays are nutritionist's days off ;-) )

We were then treated to our choice of the gorgeous Maui Jim sunglasses (could this day get any better?!)

Oh yes it could, Hawaiian dancing anyone?

 A fantastic day all round and I've genuinely not taken off my Maui Jim's since - love them! http://www.mauijim.com If you're not familiar with them.

Thanks to everyone at Maui Jim and the Wimbledon club - and well done Martina for doing the double this weekend! (I knew my coaching tips would pay off).
