I think I've had a break through!!!!! The last three days I've been really focusing on eating better. My diet up to now has been....well, anything I want, which is not the best. Starting Tuesday, I replaced my lunch with a protein drink and a fiber bar. The rest of my meals have been normal, with a few more fruits than before. And the result? I have had so much more energy. I believe it's because I'm finally getting the nutrients I need and not filling my body with heavy junk. Today was a HUGE day for me as far as running goes. I didn't get too tired to run when I was supposed to and by the end didn't feel like I was going to crash, such an amazing feeling. Also, my pace was the fastest I've ever done so far, I shave 30 seconds off my average from Monday!!!
Well, It's getting late, and sleep is a very important part of health. Plus I need go spend more time getting a very big SURPRISE for everyone tomorrow!!!! (no hints, you'll just have to wait.....k maybe one, it will be a first for this blog. There, now ponder that)

Congrats on figuring out what works for you! Nutrition is such a tough thing to figure out. I know that's even more true when I'm running.
