...wanted to tell the world of female runners to only buy Nike running shorts

Seriously. I have a few different brands of running shorts (Nike, Adidas and Lucy). The others aren't even in the same class. Not only are Nike shorts the cutest and most flattering (most important characteristics, after all), but they are the most comfortable, breathable and functional. I want every color.

If you run and you don't have them, buy them. However, 90% of female runners seem to have them and there is no doubt why.

...felt pretty damn good.

Still sticking to the raw foods diet and feeling pretty proud. It may be completely psychological, but I feel darn healthy. I can see why people get addicted to this.

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast - a smoothie a made from a banana, orange, pineapple, mango, strawberries, water and whey protein.

Snack - fresh blueberries from my Mom's yard and Rainier cherries

Lunch - squash and homemade basil pesto

Dinner - Greek salad with raw feta, olives, red onion, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, olive oil, vinegar

Dessert - Oregon strawberries

Yummm...

...am loving this raw foods diet.

Not only do I feel better I've lost 6 pounds since I started. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough energy for running, but I ran 13 miles for the first time in probably a year. I did cheat a little however and decide to have a cup of coffee a half hour before every run. I know it's supposed to provide a little boost to runners so I decided it's the one way I'll cheat.

Whenever I tell anyone I am doing this diet I get a little frowny face. Either people think it sounds growth or it's unhealthy. I only plan to do it for 2 more weeks because I will miss my steaks and halibut and seared tuna too much, but I have to say I have really enjoyed the food. Fresh fruit is delicious and I love that I'm supposed to eat 6lbs of it a day. Last night I had guacamole for dinner. Today for lunch I had a apple and raw blue cheese. Delish.

So to all the haters - go ahead an hate, but I don't feel deprived, I just feel like I'm kicking ass and loving it.

Peace.
