Some thoughts:

1. Last week, during the second part of The Olympics, I saw a number of young women in the more fashionable end of London walking to work dressed in running shorts, T - shirts and trainers. So some fashionable types have been posing. Not sure whether that was what was hoped for.

2. There has been a modest increase of people jogging to / from work. But, rather like all those tennis rackets that appear during Wimbeldon fortnight, will they still be there next week?

3. Got off the train tonight in my hometown and was almost stampeded by a herd of joggers - most women - most early middle aged or older. Have we inspired the wrong generation one wonders?

4. If we have inspired the youngsters, what is happening at RL clubs - anyone know? Inundated by new would be players? Will enrolment reduce as RL is not an Olympic sport? Are any clubs promoting themselves to would be players on the back of The Olympics?

You're an idiot.

I have been inspired to grow a pair of Wiggo sideburns.

Fook the exercise

Please do not be inspired to take shortcuts in your fishing in order to get record catches, unless you are good at engineering:

I've been inspired to start running. I did a 100m run in the park last weekend and as my fitness improves I'm looking to build up my distance to do 200m eventually.

I cba with all these 5K, 10K runs that are out there, I see myself more as a Usain Bolt than Mo Farah.

I'm inspired to watch as much sport as possible on all digital platforms.

I'm fed up of explaining that these are not bandwagon 'burns and that I've had them for ages

I ran across the footbridge for the train the other morning and was gasping and wheezing for about half an hour.

So how do we keep the momentum going and ensure that the nation's children can take advantage of whatever sporting inspiration they may have experienced?

After two weeks of Cameron ligging at any event possible and Hunt & Boris fighting over whose tongue can get furthest up Murdoch's ring, we can now sea a clearer picture of what Cameron, Hunt & Gove really mean.

Apart from absenting academies and free schools from the sports curriculum requirements, on the eve of the Olympic opening ceremony, Gove slipped this little gem into the picture:Revision of school playing areas. So we go from a minimum standard to "a suitable outdoor space". Quite who decides what is suitable is still in the air but one thing's for certain, it will lead to even more playing-field sell-offs.

Hunt simply has no idea what's going to happen as far as school sport is concerned

And Cameron? Well he's just Cameron, playing fast & loose with soundbites and delivery about 4/5ths of fook-all

At least Eton College won't be selling-off Eton Dorney.

That'd galvanize Cameron.
