* Legs are definitely coming back. Had a good week of training although my left adductor longus is still strained, but I feel it is on the way back to health. Perhaps only a couple more treatments and I should be good to go. Hill workout was strong, was smoother on my strides, but my long run was very rough. Way too humid and nasty, plus it was the first time I had run prior to 9AM in quite some time, especially for a long run. Wish I could wear my CW-X short tights on every run. Found a great recovery bar, the Snickers Marathon Caramel Nut Rush Protein Bar. Tasted great. Just what I needed, post-long run. After 90' of running you want to chew on something that tastes good, as well provide nutritional value. 20 grams of protein. Good stuff.
