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 ππ, but an achievement for me), ...and...wait for it... first fly swallowed whole during a run... delicious!??π

ππ Yes, I thought that little bit of extra protein did the trick!

Oh dear to the fly! But fantastic to your first 6.5km and 5k PB! πππ»ββοΈππ Many congratulations! PBs are such fun aren't they?

They certainly are- even the snaily ones! π

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

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

πππ I canβt tell you how glad I am that it wasnβt 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?!

ππYes thatβs what I thought about the protein supplement.

What a great set of firsts π€£π€£. There'll be many more I'm sure but hopefully a bit nicer than the flyπ₯΄.
Be proud of all your firsts. That time for the 5k sounds great and overtime will improve.
More power to you Elfie5πͺ

Oh thank you. π
I would like to think it was NOT the first of many flies! π I will track with interest how my time changes as the months go by, but really, Iβm just delighted to be able to run at all & enjoy it.
