Reviews of Running Products (First: RECOVER-ease)

(Note: I'm very happy right now. I feel relaxed and hopeful and a little sad, but in a good way. Things are where they need to be right now, and I'm okay with that.)

So I've been contacted by a few companies in the last two weeks to do reviews for various running/motivational products (and I'm about four months late in reviewing the last product on the list, so that will be my first review, and I will write about it today):

1. RecoverySox
2. SofSole
3. The Secret of Transitions, by Jim Manton
4. RECOVER-ease

I am in the process of testing (or reading, in the case of the book) each item, and will have reviews up in the next couple of weeks (I'm waiting to see what SofSole will send me to review....it's like Christmas!).

FIRST UP: RECOVER-ease
Charlie sent me the samples back in May, when I was still recovering from Zane Grey. And y'all know I took the summer off from running! So now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I've been using up the stash he sent me.

Wow. I have to say that I'm impressed. These are nutritional supplements that are supposed to help you heal and recover after strenuous exercise. And they work. The long runs I took four supplements after, I recovered from quicker and with less soreness. I was sort of surprised...I've never really been one for supplements.

Here's what the Web site says:
How Recovery-ease Works:

3. Proteolytic Enzymes & Flavonoids - Reduce inflammation and oxidation free radical damage, resulting in less exercised-induced tissue damage, accelerated rates of tissue repair, and reduced post-exercise pain & stiffness.

The part I like best what the reduced post-exercise pain & stiffness. Here's the order form. Your body will thank you!
