Sports is my insurance card to staying healthy, fitting into my favourite pair of jeans and generally feeling smug about beating somebody (not proud of the implicit immaturity) or breaking a new running time.

I love running, though in this sport, the competition is always with myself. One of the highlights of my life (thus far) was running the London Marathon. I ran for Save the Children which is one of my favourite charities and will definitely do it again; I'm looking forward to next year!

I grew up playing tennis and love to play with friends. However, the dangerous combination of being quite competitive with not having lots of opportunity to play, keeps me frustrated with my mediocrity on the courts with a few flashes of brilliance. Perhaps this could be rectified by a fun minorly competitive tournament?
