It appears that Maria Sharapova was going to change her name to Sugarpova for the duration of the US Open tennis tournament to promote her brand of sweets (candy to you Americans), then change it back again. This news appeared in all news outlets and went into some debate over how she can do this, what it entails etc etc, only to find out (not very surprisingly) that she has now decided not to do it, therefore rendering all the speculation pointless, but did raise the hoped for profile so much more than any advertising, and all for free! I also notice that the articles are still up there to read along with some quite fetching photographs of Ms Sharapova to assist with identification if it was needed.
Quite an event for me this morning, I conducted an experiment by getting up early (5:10) and going out for a 5 mile run to test the effects. The first half mile were a bit of a blur and really got me puffing and panting, but I settled down into my normal speed and surprisingly enough managed it quite well. The theory was that I can get out on my bike for 2 hours at that time, I should be able to do a much shorter run without suffering. Not sure how much running you have to do to equate to a 2 hour bike ride, but I was probably not too far off at 5 miles.
