I am very, very disappointed because Paris was my main aim for the year. I have had my preparations interrupted this year which has left me short of time and training.

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it.

I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog whilst out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.

To represent your country at a home Olympics is something special and I'm over the moon to be selected for Team GB. I was pleased to get the qualifying time in Berlin earlier this year and my sole focus is getting in the right shape for London.

I was trying to aim for the pack. (Paris) just marched right through and got it.

People would have been disappointed had it not got an M-rating, or not a higher rating than it had got in the past,
