3/13 Saturday - I went out for a semi-long run. The course was one of my usual routes around where I live. It was a rather hilly course, approximately 11.6 miles. It was a cool 50 degrees when I started, but it warmed up near the finish. After about 8 miles, the right ankle felt wrong. The hip was no good either. It only felt better if I slowed down or when I was running uphill. One good thing was that the Achilles tendon was no longer an issue. Other than the hip and ankle discomfort, it felt great to be out running. I finished the run in 1:52:13 which comes out to be about a 9:40 pace.
Just as a precaution, I'm not going to run at all leading up to the LA Marathon. Originally I wanted to finish LA in about 4:30, but that's not looking too good. Still, I'm really excited to be running the LA Marathon again! It'll be my 7th consecutive LA Marathon. I love LA!
Product Review - EAS Myoplex
After my run, I drank a free bottle that I got from one of my races. It tasted mighty good. They claim that it helps your body not waste a workout. I loved the taste, but that's the same with regular chocolate milk. I'm pretty sure the latter is cheaper. While I won't hesitate to take a free sample, I will not invest in this EAS product. Chocolate milk or Ovaltine would be fine with me.
