That moment when you’re out running and laugh with a passer by at their dogs antics.. and swollow a fly 🥴.. only to then spend the remainder of your run trying to clear the little bugger from the back of your throat .... however, every cloud and all that, this thought must have subconsciously pushed me home quicker, I never realised at the time but when I got home, had a drink .. phew, and checked Strava I’ve only gone and got a new 5k PB 👍✊.. go fly 🦟.. 🙊

Congratulations to you and the fly on achieving a PB for 5K, bit of a laugh, obviously the fly at the back of your throat made you 🏃 run faster to get home for a drink to clear your throat. 😊

Hahaha TTR, looks like that might be your secret to future PBs! Best run with your mouth open to attract more flies! 😅😅

Your post made me smile yesterday and then today whilst running I too swallowed a fly just as I was about to stop running. Unattractive coughing/choking fit ensued! Didn’t realise such perils surrounded this running lark!!

🎵There was a fine runner who swallowed a fly...😆

She got a PB and she didn't even try!🎵

...Don't take any notice of me, 😁I'm now a woman of a certain age!😉😅

It happened to me the other day too, the fly not the Pb! 😊xx
