Banana gremlins sorted

So this morning I leapt out of bed (well not quite but you know what I mean) and got ready for my second run of week 6. I have a little routine going which involves a strong cup of coffee and a banana half hour before I run. Imagine my horror 😱 (well at least try) when I realised I had no bananas ( there's a song in there somewhere!) In my head I started to think 'ohh what can I have that will get me through this?' So I opted for a piece of banana cake instead, which was lovely and did the trick and gremlins were sorted.

Think I'll make sure I've got some bananas in for run 3. Amazing how you can persuade yourself you've eaten a banana even if it is disguised as a piece of cake 🍰 😊
