I've been asked to be an ambassador for @uk_sport'

I've been asked to be an ambassador for @uk_sport's environmental sustainability strategy ❄️
This work is bringing together my two deep passions; geography & sport (which started during my joint honours degree in geog & sport and exercise science in 2007 😱!) It's a wonderful feeling to speak opening and lovingly about the topics I deeply care about, thank you UK Sport for welcoming me to this opportunity.

Text from original post by UK Sport
'If we don't look after our planet we may not have a place where sport can happen. We encourage you to ask questions and think about what you can do to help the environment and the next generation of athletes 🌎

At UK Sport we want to ensure we can continue to create extraordinary sporting moments for years to come. Together we can make a difference if we take action now. 👊'

What a fun night! Spending some quality friend time with my plus one Ama 🌟
I was invited to the Radio Times 100 years event in London to receive a framed front cover which was super special. Tonight was also an especially well timed evening out.
Life as an individual, wife, mum etc etc can be full on. Sometimes I just need a bit of time to be a friend instead 💓

Epic photo booth too 😂😂😊

The uni geography student in me would be proud of myself right now!
A night away between Xmas & NYE for James and I, staying at Elmley Nature Estate. Spotting the short eared owls before dinner last night, marsh harriers, good old ducks this morning from bed (moor hens right at the door!) and learnt about ospreys hopefully nesting here in the future 🤞🏼
So nice to get my wellies on and be outside 💚💚💚💚💚 (I also love the classic green paint too!)

#SWOTY
Celebrating wow wow amazing individuals, groups, teams, ambitions, big big ideas and women turning their ideas into a reality which is seriously moving things forward. Congratulations to all nominees, and to everyone 💚💚

What an evening! My heart is super full chatting to such kind individuals. I found a kindred spirit in Kate Rose. Thanks Sally, Emma and Tanni for fab dinner chats 💓 @thewell_hq

We spent a rare evening childfree, chasing down an old railway path. I've got a new mountain bike and my pelvis is sore already after a few pretty tame rides this week 🤪

So good to get outside (even if I was frantically checking the England Euro's score 👌🏽👌🏽)

One of my most prised possessions, a piece of sandpaper! The local hardware store in Sevenoaks sent me this after the Sochi Games in 2014, a very appropriate Congrats 'card'! ☺️
Now I'm a retired elite athlete, the friends I made along the way, strange routines and good luck charms (Yorkshire Tea, obviously) seem all the more special and important.
Whatever routines you have today, the little things to keep you going, make you smile or keep you mentally well, are important. Keep doing them.
Take a breather, treat yourself to the caffeine instead decaf coffee (or is the just me..!?), and definitely love your body. So much is going on in the World right now, here's a little reminder to keep doing you as best as you can💓💓

This role has been a priviledge. Working on the 23rd Winter Olympic Games, I'd like to take my 🧢 off to you all who made this moment the focus of your lives. Athletes and staff, team members, supporters and sponsors, thanks for the entertainment and joy. I've loved every moment - Thank You 💛💛

Working with friends!
The last two days have been a lot of fun working alongside Shelley. Almost talking over presenters at completely the wrong time, and chatting about random things live in tele..! Being bedside her while we watched the live Skele racing was fab, I was glad to share the geeky comments, things we noticed, predictions, crossed fingers and sweaty hand moments. Shelley was the athlete who taught me how to hold myself in the senior competitions, how to compete with and against your teammates. And how to enjoy it all as well (I tried to at least!)
I hope it's not another 8 years before we get to chat again properly...?
Skeleton was always about a lot more than the results, more to me than my Gold medals. There's a strong community in our slightly odd sport, the adrenaline and bravery binding us together maybe! Watching Brogan and Laura race in Beijing I was impressed, proud, sad and disappointed for them, all at the same time. The Olympic blues will come to us all again this year I'm sure as they always do, but for now I'm super grateful for all the women in my life that my sport has given me.

When @aimee_fuller walks past 😆😆
Day 5 of the Games, Day 6 for me working with the BBC. I now drink a lot of (decaf for the breastfeeding mumma) coffee!!

Doubles Luge was fun, I learnt a lot. Triple Gold medal winners, German's 'the Toby's' have furthered their legend. 6 Golds after tomorrows Team Relay?! (3 in Doubles, 3 in Relay...?)
