On the weekends, I tend to get a little lazy with my food choices and productivity. However, today was different. I decided that it was a beautiful day, and I would hit the pavement for a run. Since I started my morning active, this motivated me to continue with a productive day.
Last Friday, I went to Whole Foods to pick up a few things. I saw that Vega products were on sale. I have only tried their Recovery, which were sample packets. Normally, I do not purchase their products because of the price.
Since they were on sale, I figured that this would be a good opportunity to try them out. I bought the Pre-Workout Energizer, Recovery Accelerator and the protein bars. I got the acai berry flavor for the Pre-Workout Energizer. The taste was drinkable.
It was not bad, but it was obviously not like eating a yummy piece of cake. As for the Recovery Accelerator, the apple berry flavor was good. In my opinion, it was better than the tropical flavored one. Finally, the protein bar that I bought was the Chocolate SaviSeed.
The protein bar was really good. I would be interested in continuing to purchase these down the road.
I started using the RunDouble app again. I am on week one, day three. Before my run, I had a serving of the Pre-Workout Energizer. It was about noon when I started, and the weather was warm.
I am not sure if it was the supplement or a good night’s rest, but this was my best time. My max pace was 8:59, which was a first. I felt really great after the workout. Here were my stats:
