Today marked the first steps in building up distance again. A modest slow 6k following 3x5ks of increasing pace. Calf and ankle were well behaved, so here's hoping!
I have a confession to make. I have found a new love who goes by the name of Lotus. The name itself is brimful of eastern promise and the experience is even more exotic. Lotus Biscoff Flapjack. After years of post run triple chocolate brownie my head has been turned by the aroma of cinnamon, oats and honey topped with white and brown chocolate. It is amazing! Only served in double helpings, I have wisely drawn Mrs.BC into Lotus's dizzying spell.
This may only be a temporary flirtation; Brownie and I go back years......we'll see. Delicious while it lasts. My run times this week? Who cares๐

I think I love Lotus too BC. Weโve never met, but somehow I think weโd hit it off just fine! ๐๐๐
Such good news that your 6k was pain free. Tiny baby snail steps will build you back up and youโll be firing on all cylinders before long - just no silly business! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
6:54 pace today cheeky. My breathing was really easy, so my fitness is starting to came back; hopefully my average heart rate will start to come down soon. I haven't posted a decent monthly total since November, so it is going to take time. Looking forward to reading the posts from the long runs. Hope the weather is kind; we have a freezing wind up here.
Thanks Dexy. These are definitely "cafรฉ made" rather than bought in; I guess ingredients will vary. The calorie content is probably through the roof but, like heart rate, there are some things you have to ignore for the greater good!
Fantastic news about your running. Even better news that my local VRBโs better half makes Biscoff (๐) flapjacks. Should you choose to bring me one when we ever get to meet again, that would be just champion!
Iโm committed to the barrage on the first one back with club but after that Iโll be back at Albert ๐๐ฝ I still think itโs fab you found your old friends there ๐
The power of advertising! There was a large handwritten notice on the cafe window saying .....try this, and in a moment of weakness I capitulated. Wracked with guilt of course ๐๐๐
Harsh!๐ For the record Thursday's 5k was down to 33:07; it is getting there. Today was a slow 6k at 6:54k/m. Maybe a trip to the scales will curb these excesses. This stuff is addictive!
Never mind the running BC, letโs talk about the flapjacks! I love, love Biscoff biscuits and never knew they did flapjacks as well! How could I not have known about this? ๐ค ..... oh I know.... Iโm rarely in a supermarket as my husband does all the shopping ๐ฅฐ
Right, these are going on the list right now and Iโm sending Mr IP on a mission... I canโt wait ๐
