You could book an ice cream van to be at your finish line until a given time, then you would need to get there before it drove off.

Or I could let you know the next time the Mrs has one booked at her work, they usually park there for an hour.

Eating less ice cream is not, I repeat not the right answer. We have a choice here of two local ice cream vans who come a calling, one plays Greensleeves, the other plays Oh I do want to be by the seaside. Which one would make you run faster? Easy choice eh? πŸ˜‚

I agree. Eating less ice-cream is a drastic action.

So are you proposing 4 ice-creams per run? No wonder the ICP are after you

Just say they're dairy free vegan versions and you're saving the planet actually!

Just hand yourself in, BTP. You are surrounded. Resistance is futile. What you need on a hot day is β€œa nice cup of tea”. 😱

There is, of course, a very simple way of doing it - if they are around when you finish your run. Run in the depths of the night!! These scamps and rascals seem to prey on our vulnerabilities during the daylight hours, so hide under the cloak of night time darkness!My downfall - bacon butties and big mugs of tea after a day on the hills... all that fat and egg yolk dribbling down my chin... YUMMY!

Stay safe and well in this hot weather and enjoy your well-deserved cones.🍨🍦🍨🍦
