All hail the custard slice....again!

I know, I know....! A while back in C25K I struggled a bit now and again and started leaving things in the kitchen window to get me to the end. My favourite was a custard slice! Today, the 45m run of WK3 of Ju Ju’s Magical Plan spread out ahead of me, and off I set. I found minutes 35 to 45 tough and promised myself a custard slice at the first available opportunity. Well, just got back from the supermarket and....it was lovely! Just looked at the packet and it says no calories at all, and it’s super healthy so that’s great! Anyway, lucky the opticians had shut!!

Haha.....now Maz1103, I forgot to add that I may have just poured a glass of a nicely chilled white that goes excellently with custard!

Well done you. I did 10k this morning for only the second time so treats don't matter 😁

Haha.....what a great idea, when I approach Ju Ju’s 60 mins I’ll need to take one of them with me for a mid run snack! Almond Croissant sounds yummy!

I teach English to the daughter of people who own a boulangerie-pâtisserie. They not only pay me, they insist I eat cake during class, and give me a goody bag to bring home. Probably just as well she'll be going to university next year! 🍰🍰🍰

🤣🤣 brilliant, well done on your progress. Try slowing down a bit from the start of these long runs then the end won’t be so hard. Happy running 🤗
