My sport of choice at the moment has to be running.
I got into running purely by accident when I was asked by Race for life to be one of their ambassador bloggers over at ellamasters.co.uk.

Not wanting to fail at the 5K I had signed up to, I got myself in a routine running and it was good for my wellbeing.
I used to have a love hate relationship with exercise, sport and running due to my asthma and I’ve faced a lot of personal challenges when it comes to running.
I’ve suffered from severe asthma since I was a baby. I would wake up with asthma attacks so the thought of walking was scary let alone breaking into a sweat while running.
Being heavily over weight in the past was a big stumbling block for the confidence and getting on that treadmill for the first time.
Taking up running has done a lot for my confidence, wellbeing and my peace of mind.
Being a freelancer it has also giving me the chance to escape my desk and I no longer panic that I might have an asthma attack, I now take it in my stride.
