The Protein Shake Conundrum

Miles I am supposed to run: 3

Miles I actually ran: 3

I decided it might be sensible to swap today and tomorrow's runs around, and do a longer one with the club tomorrow.

For most of this last week I have been feeling tired and constantly starving. My brother's advice for this was to try protein shakes. That's as far as he got, before getting distracted and not answering any of my further questions.

So this morning I came to the conclusion that the rest was down to me, and started to do some research.

My initial findings were positive. Clearly everything I have been doing is wrong, and protein shakes are the answer to all of my problems. How did I even get this far without them! Apparently they are the cure to any and all ailments!

Then I got a bit stuck. 

All protein shakes for women are pink, and designed for weight loss. I don't want to lose any weight. In fact if I lose any more weight I will fall down a drain on a run, never to be seen again. These are not what I want.

Protein shakes for men come in a variety of manly colours, and will help me to build lots of muscles so I can look like a body builder. Not really what I want either. 

Might just go and have a steak instead.
