Well, the slow running challenge was all about :imagine a helium balloon tied to your head, imagine holding a pizza box, run on the balls of your feet rather than heels, breath through your nose. All things that as runners we already know, but either forget or probably donโ€™t think about when weโ€™re running. Itโ€™s been good to give it a go and has definitely made me run more mindfully.

First run back after over 3 weeks today, mainly 2/1 R/W or as I felt.

I can't do nose breathing when I run. You've kicked the year off really well lin. :)

Still benched ... have found out that my platelets are low ~ apparently they're half of what a healthy body should have but not so low as to be wholly indicative of a probable cause. Emergency appt was made and cancelled with a "... due to unforeseen circumstances, well get back to you if/when we can* ..."

* This happens so often that I no longer take an excess of notice in when the initial appt is for ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿซจ [Background, degenerative, health condition and all that ...]

Well ... I'm thankful I live in the present and in the U.K ~ not being able to digest 'complex' foods and not having had a hot meal in almost 6 months socks a bit. Having switched to Huel and Aymes means I pass a lot less noxious gasses, but I'm still nauseated most of the time ...

All in all, it could be worse!

(Having a more and more toddleresque 85 year old in the house does make for additional issues ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ~ he actually had a stroppy foot stamp at a motorway services lunch stop ... because there wasn't a Macdonalds and he WANTED ONE!!!.

Mind, my sister was there and ... well ... that weekend was an eye opener for her! ๐Ÿฅบ ๐Ÿ˜ And she thought it'd be nice to share a double room with him!!! Welcome to our lives, sis! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Well played dec! I did Huel for a couple of years but then weirdly developed an intolerance to it (I think, I've not been brave enough to try it again as the last 3 times I did I was horribly sick). While I was a happy Hueller I did like how much time and brainspace it gave me back. Not heard of Aymes.

Being constantly nauseous sounds exhausting.

Aymes is a prescribed complete meal replacement powder (well, mine's powdered ~ I've no idea whether a liquid version's available).

I'd happily recommend Aymes ~ the down side is that only four flavors are available (banana, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla).

To be honest I might be tempted to the dark side of the farce if it meant I could eat good, solid, food! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ
Several years of the continuous desire to barf is starting to get a bit old and tired! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฎ
