Quest Bar – Lemon Creme Pie

Quest’s Lemon Creme Pie bar has a sting lemon smell upon opening the bar’s package. The flavor of the part is ok, it’s not full of flavor, but you can taste the lemon. I’m also pretty sure that if someone handed you a lemon Creme lie that tasted like this bar, you would send it back. For a protein bar, it’s a decent flavor, but I’d have other bars before this one.

As with most Quest Bars, there are 20 grams of protein in the bar. This particular bar has 170 calories.

Overall: meh, I’d eat other bars first.

Finally out for a run again

It’s been a few weeks since I was able to go out for a run. During the snowpocalypse, I failed to warm up my legs enough and 3 miles into my 5 mile run I pulled my left calf muscle. Since then, I have continued with P90X3, modifying where needed. Through P90X3, I was able to keep my cardio up, which is nice.

Today I went for a 3 mile test run as I have the Shamrock Run 15k in two weeks. I’m glad to say that I did not have any issues withy calf after properly warming up. Throw in a few dynamic stretches after the run and keep on adding distance for the 15k.

On my non running days, I will review the apps that I use while I run.
