Given the runaround

Today the London Marathon saw Mo Farrah come 3rd and smash the British marathon record. This has been overshadowed by Watergate; Mo couldn't find his own water bottle, picked up the wrong one and had to run back to the station to find his own. Why he needed his own bottle I'm not sure. Presumably they all have special, individual additives whereas the main throng of runners have, well, just water. 

As the runners were pounding the pavements in London, I was running 5k around my home village. I drank water before and after the run but the real reward was this delicious brunch.

Avocado with lime juice and chilli flakes on oats and ancient grains toast topped with a poached egg

Greek yogurt with muesli, banana, raspberries and chia seeds

Earl Grey tea

A nice meal at the end of a run is a great motivator. Like the donkey and the carrot. Like Mo and Quorn!
