My Dog is a Recoverite Addict

It's true. At first it was gentle curiosity, then it was an expectant glance, then it morphed into giddy trots into the kitchen after our run. But now it's evolved into demanding whines directed at my water bottle, and impatient barks on the rare occasion when I am not mixing it fast enough.

Recoverite is - as the name implies - a recovery drink with the proper 3:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio perfect for fixing damage done during workouts. It's made by our friends at Hammer Nutrition. I love this company; not only do they make great products but they also offer incentives to recruit new athletes into the fold. Brilliant marketing. Oh, and one of their products is named after a favorite line from So I Married an Axe Murderer....HEED! This evokes fond memories of the film, as well as memories of our cadre of friends using this to describe our young Cameron's noggin...which I am pleased to report is now the perfect size for his 6-year old frame (but as an infant, was the same size as an adult HEED!)

So either Tilley likes the taste, or has really listened to me blather on about the merits of recovery nutrition and hydration. I really think I saw her stretching the other day as we waitied for the gate to open after our run, so maybe she does hear me after all.
