My key philosophy of life...age is just a number, there are more than 24 hours in a day, you are capable of way more than you imagine. It's time for a 50 in 50 challenge, 50 things I've never done before by November 9th 2018! Running is just one passion, you don't stop doing what you love because you get old, you get old because you stop doing what you love!

  I hadn’t realised the energy sucking impact of a teenage daughter on my training schedule, especially a hormonal one ! After shouting, screaming, eye rolling, huffing, puffing, under breath muttering (almost identifiable as swearing but denied every time), stomping, door slamming and of course accusations… Read More ›

  Although a bold LCA in most things, I do have a phobia of a frosty pavement. Still I can’t be put off this early in the Winter, so muggers hat in place, I risked all for a swift 5km. Sadly a couple… Read More ›

• The LCA Multi-tasker, blogging and dying!

  By justinesq on January 20, 2014 • ( 0 )

  I’m blogging and I’m dying, that’s what an LCA multi-tasker can do. Don’t panic, should I clarify and say that I’m colouring my hair! You see whilst running has given me the size 8 body (that’s a US size 4……you can see why… Read More ›

• New Gear Revealed

  Having passed its test run, I unveiled my new gear for the Friday ‘chat and run’ with Ellie and Suzy. Felt quite the ‘bobby dazzler’ in coordinated splendour. Now there’s a term worthy of my mother not the LCA set! We extended… Read More ›

  Monday night is gym night (and Thursday too actually) but oh how I hate the gym in January. So crowded from the moment you drive in. Why is there always a parking bun fight around the parking nearest the doors….exercise doesn’t only… Read More ›

• Bobble Hats are go

  By justinesq on January 12, 2014 • ( 0 )

  We’ve been lucky so far, surprisingly mild for January, but there’s a nip in the air and at just 3 degrees I felt the need for my woolly headgear. All I can muster is a black beanie hat, I think… Read More ›
