About Me

I'm not a serious runner, and I'm certainly not that competitive. I'm someone who has two children, reached her 40's and simply wants to stay fit and feel good. I am writing this blog to share my thoughts, experiences and hopefully inspire others to take up running and explore green spaces in a city and further afield. I work as a freelance journalist and a part-time school librarian, and write this blog purely for love. Please feel free to comment and I'll do my best to reply and continue to write an entertaining blog.

Weekly rant - Running and crazy hair

I thought it was time for another weekly rant. Now I'm not one to polish my hair into fancy hairstyles. As most of my friends know my hair has a world of its own. One day it may look relatively OK, almost chic, other days it looks a little deranged. But most days it just looks completely random and wild. So what am I supposed to do with my crazy locks when I'm running?

So often I see other women running with their hair bouncing around like they have just come out of a hair salon. My hair is not quite long enough to tie up; it's too thick to wear a hat - I just overheat; and if I put in hairclips etc they just fall out! I was wondering about investing in one of those running hair band things. I've gone beyond caring what I look like but it would be good to be able to see where I am going. Do any of you girlies have any suggestions?

  1. I think I may have solved the hair issue. I just bought a fab running from Sweaty Betty. Looks cool and feels great. Check out the link.

    I guess that's me sorted for summer running!
