Morning run and almost poisoned by pips

Eventful day after starting it with an iced lemon water ๐Ÿ‹ ๐Ÿ’ฆ, 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. Iโ€™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 donโ€™t wizz up your cherry ๐Ÿ’ pips! ๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ›‘

Wow, what a day ๐ŸคฃI wouldn't have even thought about the pips ๐Ÿ˜

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.

Yeah, I felt really stupid, but the doctors were quite excited by it, as itโ€™s so unusual to have someone wizz up cherry pips ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I also feel Iโ€™ve been almost in a true crime story: the mystery of the poisoned runner (the cherry pips did it)๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿ’ though ๐Ÿ˜.

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.

๐Ÿคฃ at least you didnโ€™t process / wizz them to bits and pieces to make a smooth shake out of them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

I trust you child was ok? And trees stayed were they are supposed to stay in the garden? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™

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.

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!

Goodness me!! How scary after such a healthy start. Certainly didnโ€™t know about cherry stones ๐Ÿ˜ณ

CBDBGraduate10โ€ข in reply toComfortnotspeed

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.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
