Okay so here's the bling

[mcgurranhouse]

Absolutely shattered after the 10k - no official time yet but around 55 minutes somewhere. While the medal is pretty, I have a complaint - instead of a banana at the end, there was a peanut butter crunchy bar! Peanut butter! Seriously!

[runswithdogs Graduate]

Nice bling. We get bananas at ours. I hate peanut butter.

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to runswithdogs]

Nothing wrong with bananas!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to runswithdogs]

I don't like it either...

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Well done.

I'll swap you a banana for the peanut bar!

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Gladly Ully!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Me too. Got to stand up for crunchy peanut butter or where will it all end?

[B0bP Graduate]

Congratulations.

What's the matter with peanut butter?

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to B0bP]

It is vile disgusting stuff and to steal a line from Father Ted - along with pop tarts, has no place in our Lords plan for the world!

[B0bP Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

What! You don't know what you're talking about.

It's nutritious, delicious, can be spread on anything. 😀😀😀

It's also brilliant to renovate dull exterior plastic on your car, I kid you not if you spread it n the faded black part of door mirror surrounds or bumper protection strips it has them looking like new it no time.

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to B0bP]

Best use for it in my opinion - my dog loves it - I just don't!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to B0bP]

It's nuts!

[Hidden]

I can't eat peanuts. That would have been very annoying!!

[Lyndsf]

Hilarious post could have been worse...an apple. Seriously huge congrats xx

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Lyndsf]

At least I could have eaten the apple!

[mfamilias Graduate]

Well done for the stomping good time! Peanut butter on the finishing line? Yeucccch. Almost as incongruous as Coke sponsoring the event.

[Qscout Graduate in reply to mfamilias]

Coke have a huge site locally.

[mfamilias Graduate in reply to Qscout]

Oh, ok. You may have guessed that I'm not a huge fan of their products

[mcgurranhouse Graduate]

Slight update on the time - 54:42!!!!! woo hoo!

[B0bP Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

Cracking time eh 😀

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to B0bP]

Not bad.

[Indizulu Graduate]

Congratulations - that's absolutely brilliant!!! Lovely night for the run too and an amazing time! 👏👏👏👏

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Indizulu]

Thank you - it was a good night.

[heavyhorse Graduate]

peanut butter is the best!

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to heavyhorse]

Nope - I stand by my vile and disgusting comment! What is worse is that a friend has just told me that there were different flavours - fudge or chocolate chip!!!!! All I saw was stupid peanut butter! Grrrr

[heavyhorse Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

that's worse! Now you know you were cheated out of a better flavour!

[Madge50 Graduate]

That's a great time, well done you, super speedy! I would have thrown up if some one gave me peanut butter at the end of a race, yuk, yuk, yuk....still,, another one of life's delightful experiences, and the bling was worth it, oh yes! 😄

Happy running 😄

Peanut butter is the runner's friend. Good protein 😊 My running pal always runs her races on peanut butter on toast. I'm even manage to slip some into the middle of my choccy mug cake

Well done on your 10k ☺ Fab time!

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thank you Miss W - but peanut butter is still vile!

[misswobble Graduate]

Well I thought so. I never liked it still I made an effort to start using it when I started eating well. You can use it with spices as curry paste. That was my first use for it. Since then I extended my repertoire. I don't like the crunch and taste of peanuts but don't mind the butter. You use it for the energy bars etc with fruit and stuff and you wouldn't know it was there, but the protein is good for us runners. Almond butter is lovely. I have that with a sliced red apple 😊amongst other things

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Almond butter? I might try that.

[misswobble Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

It's calorific so I use a teaspoon and just have the one 😊 Crisp red apple slices to dip in, makes a lovely snack. I buy the Meridian brand

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Ooh that's really nice bling! I might have to fly over and do that one next year 😉

Just read your other post first about your time. Fab or what! Seriously well done to you. Was it a nice course? Wasn't there Coca Cola at the end too?

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Clearly you haven't read my peanut butter rant yet! A bottle of water and a peanut butter crunch bar Siobhan! Peanut butter! Seriously! (this is Siobhan isn't it?

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

Just read it! I guess they just assumed most runners would love a peanut butter crunch bar. Yum yum. Nope I'm not Siobhan 😏 amateurwriter is called Siobhan. I'm the princess 👑 😊

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

The course wasn't too bad, but I had it in my head that when we turned on to a particular road we only had a short distance to go - this particular road is 1.8 miles long! And then you had to go up into the town and up again to the finish line! Nightmare!

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

Worth it for the bling though!

[AncientMum Graduate]

Great bling and a fabulous time. Very very well done.

Peanut butter?? Yumm ❤️❤️❤️

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Yumm - I beg to differ!

[poppypug Graduate]

Another vote for peanut butter ! Its gotta be the smooth one though . Lovely dollop of it on a rice cake, its the dogs wotsits !

That is some seriously lovely bling there Marina. I would be well chuffed with that , and your time too , Wow, that is fast !!

Well done you xxx

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Thanks Poppy - quite pleased with myself! Still knackered though - although that might have been down to running W5R2 with my lovely son last night!
