Day 3 – Check

Okay, this Clean Food Challenge is getting harder.  I am hoping I start to gain energy because all I feel is a total drain of energy.  I must have totally been fueled on processed foods and cheese before because my run yesterday was painfully and slow and today’s run was pretty tough too.  I won’t be running too much this week since it’s taper week for the half on Sunday.  I really hope the claim of more energy comes soon!   

Plus, Jill brought this over for dessert last night (for the rest of the family who is not participating in the CLC) and left it here.  It's been torturing me all day.  I finally had to push it to the back of the refrigerator!

PS – I think I spent a majority of this gorgeous day in the bathroom.
