4 in a row 5k Friday

[Jericho2332]

Good morning runners! Happy Friday!

Can't hide my excitement today, massive day for football fans 😁😁😁

Up and out for 06:30, warm up, stretches...then the return of dance music and Coach Bennett to my run! First time in ages, I've been doing audio books and podcasts for month and there great for passing time but if you really want to move quicker... Classic Dance all the way! 💪🏻

I wasnt lightning quick today by any stretch of the imagination, didn't once get under 5 mins per km BUT was consistent with my pace and didn't let myself drop over 5:30 per km.

The reward was a second fastest ever 5km time of 26:12! 😁

Very pleased to see my times heading back in the right direction.

Yesterday's food intake went a little over as got told late on that I was cooking and we had nothing in 🤣 (she was angling for a takeaway!) so went for the northern tradition of "freezer soup" literally take all the open gear out of the freezer, bung them in the oven and eat 🤣🤣 it wasn't until I worked out the calories that are in Turkey drumsticks, onion rings, tempura chicken nuggets etc that I really regretted it! 😱 Wow we let our kids eat some crap!

Hope everyone has a great day, and hopefully a great night for all the England fans! 🤞🏻

Happy Running!

Haha that “freezer soup” sounds something else 🙀but clearly it had a great effect on your run! That’s a great time, well done 👍

Now, my question is “will you have more freezer soup next week too?”……..🤔

[Jericho2332 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you! I honestly hope to never eat it again, that rubbish is so bad for you! 🤣 I'm going to stop allowing some of them in the freezer at all, so unhealthy! My kids won't eat any good food that I cook so the freezer is often stocked with crap for them. Need to find them some healthier options!

The run time however was very pleasing! I'm giving the freezer soup no credit for that though 🤣🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Jericho2332]

Kids are notoriously iffy about good food but are so easily drawn to the bad stuff 🙄 Good luck with that!

Make your own nuggets/fish fingers by cutting bits of chicken/fish and dipping in flour, beaten egg, breadcrumbs and just bake in oven. It’s recognisable for them but you know it’s got nothing added. Takes no time.
