Morning run and almost poisoned by pips

[CBDB]

Eventful day after starting it with an iced lemon water 🍋 💦, then a great, cool wet 5k run this morning (to Podrunner intervals again), followed by stretches and shower, and then a 30 min stretchy Yoga session.

What a great way to start the day.

Of course it went wonky after that, with suspected food self-poisoning with cherry pips that I accidentally wizzed up into my protein smoothie thinking the clatter were the ice cubes. Then an anxious 111 call, a trip to A&E and 3 hours of observation to rule out cyanide poisoning. I’m home now again and feel ok again. But wow, what a day!

Anyway, I want my Sunday back but the morning was brilliant.

Pics are of my wet route, and my second NorthCoast 500 postcard! And look at that view!

Happy running everyone and don’t wizz up your cherry 🍒 pips! 🛑🛑🛑

Wow, what a day 🤣I wouldn't have even thought about the pips 😐

[nowster Graduate10]

Apple pips are also high in cyanide, too. Intact, they'll just pass through your gut. Mashed up in a smoothie they're more dangerous.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Yeah, I felt really stupid, but the doctors were quite excited by it, as it’s so unusual to have someone wizz up cherry pips 🤣🤣🤣

I also feel I’ve been almost in a true crime story: the mystery of the poisoned runner (the cherry pips did it)😂😂

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Ooooh I say, that certainly is a day of 2 halves! Well done on your run, and well done for acting so quickly and not poisoning yourself! Have a relaxing evening - no cherries 🍒 though 😁.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Yeah! 😏

[Over62]

Oh dear CBDB what a day for you - glad you’re home safe and sound now, take care especially whizzing up protein smoothies! Lovely photos - great one of the Salt line

🤭👏😊👍

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Over62]

Yeah. I’m quite embarrassed after that pippy adventure! 😏 But morning run and yoga both were great.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh dear i did smile when i read about your pips, you could always eat the cherries whole and spit out the pips

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

🤣🤪yeah, doh! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[nowster Graduate10]

You've got to be careful making smoothies.

Living life on the edge🤔. Glad all is ok. Happy running 🤗

[DylanTheRabbit Graduate10]

Blimey, who knew smoothies could be so risky!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to DylanTheRabbit]

Yeah! Runners live on the edge! 🤣🤣

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

I did not know this about cherry pips! Glad you're ok 😊

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Yeah, thank you. Before today, I also wasn’t aware. 🙏

[roseabi]

Oh dear! xxx

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

🙏🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[Curlygurly2 Graduate10]

Gosh, I never knew they were poisonous, well done for getting to the hospital.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

👍🏽😏🤦🏻‍♀️yeah, I learned something that day! 😂

[Tansycat]

Oh dear… I was enjoying reading the first paragraph……,,

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Tansycat]

🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😏 It was a really great Sunday morning! 🙂 and they will come again. 🙏👍🏽

[Yesletsgo Graduate10]

Glad you're ok. When my eldest was a baby I realised he ate a whole pile of cherries, stones and all. I panicked, a totally irrational fear they'd germinate and he'd have trees growing from his ears (yep, even I knew I was being stupid!) Dr reassured me, obviously they just passed through and no harm done.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

🤣 at least you didn’t process / wizz them to bits and pieces to make a smooth shake out of them 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I trust you child was ok? And trees stayed were they are supposed to stay in the garden? 🤣👍🏽🙏

[Lifluf Graduate10]

Goodness me! That was a crisis for you and after such a lovely start to the day. I didn't realise cherry pips were that bad for you. Hope you're all recovered now CBDB.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Lifluf]

We are! Thank you 😊 🙏🤦🏻‍♀️😏

[Hidden]

And I have learned something new today! Too bad you had to go to hospital and a big fright for it. But we now have been warned about the cherry pips!

Hopefully your next run will have a less eventfull continue!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yea, exactly ! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣👍🏽🙏

[Comfortnotspeed Graduate10]

Goodness me!! How scary after such a healthy start. Certainly didn’t know about cherry stones 😳

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Yeah, it was even unusual for the staff there, the doctors even had to contact the poison centre and we looked through the 5page guidelines. But by then I should have had more severe symptoms. So I just needed to be monitored.🙏👍🏽

[GailXrunning]

Good grief! Who’d have thought there were such risks with smoothies? Well done on the first half of the day, though… let’s not loose sight of that amazing start.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Oh yeah! It was a memorable morning and I loved it!

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Wow! Talk about a day of 2 halves!

Glad it didn’t end up too serious!🥰🍒

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

🙏👍🏽yup, all good and well! Besides symptoms that also looked like anxiety, I had a little headache not long after but that was it! My body could take it! 👍🏽💪🏃🏼‍♀️🏋🏾‍♀️

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to CBDB]

Phew 😮‍💨
