No1 position for MyVemma

Wow, what a race! I'm a quick runner so was set off a couple of minutes after everyone else for the 5 mile handicap race around the local park. I've improved dramatically this year on this seasonal running club series. I'd already knocked a minute off my last years time and was hopefully for something close.

Conditions were good as it had just stopped raining and I sprinted off fast but taking the corners gingerly as the ground was a little slippery. Managed the first lap in a record breaking 15mins 30seconds. Usually I'll die dramatically on the second lap if I go out too fast, but I managed to keep a strong pace despite getting tired on the hilly parts.

Got passed all the other runners with half a mile to go and stormed in with a mammoth new pb of 32mins 48secs. Nearly another minute off my previous best set a few races back. Totally delighted so had a nice pint of lager to celebrate.

How managed such a huge improvement, I have no idea. Vemma cant be responsible as Ive not taken it long enough. Anyway, I don't expect it to help directly with performance; more as an aid to recovery, general well being and health. Maybe Im wrong though, maybe there was some sort of energy boost from all those vitamins?

Now its the day after Ive taken MyVemma juice dose for the day and all given my legs a good self massage with my massage machine. I'm not neglecting normal recovery routines like stretching, massage and rest; and today is a rest day as my legs really are tired. Will see tomorrow if I have any significant DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) effect.
