Layers of Life

Show us someone or something you admire (and tell us about them, too)! This week's photo challenge is all about admiration.

This girl still can’t run!
A few short months ago I was running well - I was enjoying the fitness benefits, my body responded to the challenges I set it and the feeling of having the wind through my hair as I ran was intoxicating and liberating. I was running 5km a few times a week while trying to improve …

Disaster has struck my running regime!
Oh no! Oh yes! Disaster indeed 😦 My right calf had been sore for a few days and when I went out for my morning run on Thursday I just couldn't get going and ended up limping home. I tried to stretch and this helped for a while but it just continued aching. I'm not …

Looking ahead
The issue of ageing is something we all face and everyone has their own take on how they will cope. Some are grateful for the chance to get older as they have lost family and friends at an early age and know how precious life is. Others fight it all the way by putting toxins in …
