Wednesday run postponed

Postponed, not due to weather or injury or the demands of entertaining children and grandchildren who are staying this week. But due to the irredeemable rubbishy calorific junk available at nearly all attractions, cafes and pubs here.

I suppose I could sit in a corner eating a humanely slaughtered organic quinoa salad while they hit the heart attack specials, but last night the pub’s “Bad Boy Burger” was too hard to resist! 🍔👈.

I groaned with indigestion all night.

But today’s a new day ☀️!! New start. Run tomorrow.

On request I will describe the Bad Boy burger!

Describe it please HF - it sounds delicious! 😋 And yes, there’s always another day to run! 😅

OK, you asked for it: a brioche bun containing a burger, two rashers of bacon, cheese, a steak and breadcrumbed chicken fillet with barbecue sauce. Plus chips. But offset by a side salad, thank goodness. All for £6.50.

Never again.

Whoa that’s meat-heavy! I can imagine the indigestion, but I bet it was tasty at the time. The side salad justified it I’m assuming?! 😅

Absolutely: the ubiquitous red and green pepper slices, cucumber slices, lettuce and vinaigrette, probably preprepared by Les Frères Brakes. The best thing on the plate!!

Just wonder how many calories that burger had, I mean if you had to 'run' that off, if you could that might be a half marathon which is about 1,300 calories,

My Sports Tracker reckons that, with my size, I burn off about 100 (kilo)calories per km. That’s a long run nevertheless.

As someone recently posted here “you can’t outrun the fork” 🏃🏻‍♂️🍴🍴

An absolute bargain I’d say, but think I’d have indigestion as well if I’d eaten it. As you say, tomorrow is another day!

No point in regretting what’s done. Only learn for the future.

Available from The White Hart, St Teath, Cornwall. The chef did say though that he’s underpriced it.

I would definitely say under priced! More like double and a bit more ! Even more a reason to have tried it ! X

Did you enjoy it at the time of eating. Hope you did . It's good to treat yourself now and again. 😊

Yes I did but only for the precise time it took to eat it. It was the same sense of challenge that spurred me on as gets me up hills!!

You enjoy those precious moments HeavyFoot. Once the family goes home the runs will be there for you to enjoy.

Hi D5. I managed to get out today for a 30 minute hilly before any of them were half way to stirring their stumps. The Toxic Ten lasted for twenty but all well now 😋
