Today is a happy, happy start to Magic 10 & the Sept quest...

My first 6.5k run, first sub 46min at the 5k point, (yes I know, very snail πŸŒπŸ˜‚, but an achievement for me), ...and...wait for it... first fly swallowed whole during a run... delicious!??πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Yes, I thought that little bit of extra protein did the trick!

They certainly are- even the snaily ones! πŸ˜„

Snaily ones are just as much PBs as any other type that you could mention. 😊

Protein is so important for muscle repair whilst running. Enjoy those flies.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I can’t tell you how glad I am that it wasn’t a hulking bluebottle.

Been there. They get stuck right at the back of the throat and set off the good old gag reflex.

Yay! Well done Elfe, some fantastic firsts there, though I doubt the fly thought so! Ah well, a shot of protein has to be a good thing no?!

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚Yes that’s what I thought about the protein supplement.

Oooooh! What a memorable run!! Be proud of yourself and your progression. You deserve to be πŸ‘πŸ‘

What a great set of firsts 🀣🀣. There'll be many more I'm sure but hopefully a bit nicer than the flyπŸ₯΄.

Be proud of all your firsts. That time for the 5k sounds great and overtime will improve.

More power to you Elfie5πŸ’ͺ

Oh thank you. πŸ˜„

I would like to think it was NOT the first of many flies! πŸ˜‚ I will track with interest how my time changes as the months go by, but really, I’m just delighted to be able to run at all & enjoy it.

Not what you're looking for?
