Jelly Babies

For long, off-road runs my Mrs has been bringing a bag of eggy bread / gypsy toast / french toast (whatever you consider correct nomneclature).

Obviously it's cold by the time you get around to troughing it; but it's bl**dy lovely when you're hanging-out.

All washed down with a bottle of water, chia seeds, honey and lime juice.

At this rate I'm going to eat better on the hoof than I do at home:D

Thanks for the tip simgreen

Just noticed that they have a very long 'use by' date too so its possible to stock up on them.

Now who do I speak to at Ella's Kitchen about commissions?;)

they'd sold out of half the range but got a Bananna breckie to try and an Organix squeezy Mango, Pear and Orange:D

now if I can find some one to run round with a clean bib....

Damn it, there's been a run on squeezable baby food! Just been to Tesco and supplies are dwindling!

The Baby Brekkie might become a new pre-race staple for me. Actually it tastes good enough to become an everyday pre-office staple!;)

17.5 miles over Burley & Ilkley Moor with 2 stops for baby food. I took the banana, yogurt & powdered brown rice & it was far more enjoyable than any gel I've ever had. Still had it alongside a handful of yogurt coated raisins. My brother-in-law had to wind me after about 12 miles & thinks I will be on solids within the year.:D

I almost fell off my chair laughing at that last line:D

from today's paper:
Sportsmen, dieters and OAPs opt for baby food

think I'll stick to mule bars ...

Did he have to change your nappy at mile 15 then put you to bed for a nap at the end?

He did, he's the perfect running partner !

I used baby food sachets on a mountain marathon last year (both the fruit and the mashed up meals) the only thing is that as its made for babies there absolutely no salt, only realised this when I got hit by cramps

Just bought some Organix Carrot Cake bars from Asda. All they have in them are wholegrain oats, raisins, carrot juice & orange oil. Sound perfect for a long run. I'm definitely moving away from the gels. Baby food is the future ! I might try racing in a nappy too. No more loo stops on the off road marathons.
