Long time no run. I'm ashamed that I've been so busy with living my glamorous existence that I have been too busy to run. But that all changed this morning. This was group run Saturday! The excitement was overwhelming at 4:55am when my phone rang. It was my wake up call...no amount of alarms could get me out of bed that early...and I threw on my clothes and away I went. I listened to a little Ying Yang Twins on my way to the boat launch to get me ready for running! It must have worked because I finished my first 3 miles in record time! To our good fortune, the thugs of Shreveport decided to not steal out icechest full of water (I'm hoping the sign informing them we were running for cancer, don't steal our water...)so we had a baby break and turned back towards the finish. I finished feeling great even though my legs were a little jelloy.
I was informed that protein/carb refueling drink powder was great for muscle repair after a long run. SO I got a big tub of orange flavored powerbar mix! YUMMY huh?? Very very wrong...it is the nastiest chalky mess I have ever consumed. The powder alone is pretty tasty but the addition of water turns it into flavor poison. I was drinking it driving to work and I'm sure passing motorist were wondering a. what I was drinking and b. why I continued drinking it with a wrinkled face look of disgust. As far as its magical powers...I'm not buying it. My legs are sore and I'm tired. Oh and I have a headache. But I'll give it another try since I have it I guess. Overall: good day, good run : )
