Apple Juice

So, last night my neighbour came home from the south west and presented me with a couple of gallons of the lovely apple juice they make down in that wonderful part of the world. I don’t know what happened, but after a few glasses I came over all funny, staggering and dizzy. I thought I’d best go to bed and rest, obviously having a small glass of apple juice for the vitamins.

So, this morning I’m feeling great, maybe just a wee bit thirsty. I avoided having apple juice with my breakfast, I’ll try another one later, maybe two. Been on the water all day, but knew I was going to suffer on my run today... but no... I set off nice and slow and everything just clicked in to place... the I really enjoyed this one and it flew by. I felt like I could have gone on forever, but Sarah said to stop and although she’s lovely, I bet she can dish it out when she wants to. Walked home, shower and nice cup of tea.

So I heartily recommend Apple juice.... and I need to move to Somerset. Week 7 here I come!

Haha UNM, I live about 20 minutes away from one of those famous apple juice producers! It does quench well doesn’t it? 👍😅

I may partake in a couple this evening actually, although I don’t want to jeopardise parkrun tomorrow (something else I can’t believe I’m saying! 😅)

Looks like yours appeared to enhance your run - it’s clearly medicinal! 👍 Well done, you’re smashing your runs as ever! 👏👏

😂😂 they put a secret ingredient in Somerset apple juice to give it medicinal and up lifting powers 😉

A hearty well done you for cracking week 6 xx

The Wurzels and their 1976 hit "☺️I am a Cider Drinker" 😪 comes to mind when reading your post of today. Glad you liked your run after drinking that wonderful 'apple juice' which was given to you by your neighbour😊. Tomorrow I will be doing W4R1 as I am repeating all the runs because I have been off📴 running 🏃 for about 6 weeks due to that hip injury I had 🤔😢which is completely better.

Thanks ... yes, I should have had that on the playlist... didn’t change it from last one.

Great that you’re back... I’ve had a couple of weeks out and it’s tough to sit and watch the reports come in.

Great t-shirt. Cider is from fruit so isn’t it one of your 5 a day?

It’s very refreshing... when I lived in Winchester there were lots of trips to these farms... I miss that so much. Cheers!

Great job ! Oh, so that's how it's done... "Apple juice" ! That bit of instruction was missing from my app. I had some tonight along with crepes, but how long before a run do you think one should ingest some for maximum effect ? 😂

UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply toHillsEverywhere

I did about 18 bourse 😂. Cheers!

I had a Somerset ancestor. This enables me to sing along to the Wurzels in my best cod Zummerzet without blushing . . . The pear juice is good too 😉
