Note: Sister J may be staying with me for a few days. It is always nice to have guest at the apt. Hope she will feel comfortable while she is here. I made buffalo burgers last night and they were so so good. I cannot believe that buffalo is leaner than regular beef because that meat was so juicy. I've been eating a bit more carbs than usual. Not sure why. I will try to scale it back a bit if I can. I don't have a long run this coming weekend so I really should not be eating so much carbs.

Note: I just noticed that today is the 50th day since I started trying to eat clean. After running 22 miles yesterday, I feel ready to start another great week of clean eating. My goal every week until my sister's big day is to try to eat as clean as possible. I use that date as a reference point because I think that will be 3 months into it and most programs takes that long for results. I will reevaluate at that point to see if I want to continue with clean eating.

Note: Ran the 22 miler today in 3:25. I was on a roll, I averaged a 9:19 pace. My per mile pace was 1 min faster than when I did the 20 miler 2 weeks ago. I am feeling positive about my training to get near 4 hours. I didn't eat much today or well considering I burnt 1800 calories doing the run. I always terrible after a long run and never want to eat anything which is bad. I had to force myself to eat today. Need to recover better in terms of refueling. Spent the day just resting and hanging out and preparing for th up coming work week.

Spent the whole time at Sephora. Got some really cool stuff to play with. Got a neat maxi dress and cute top from Wet Seal. Going to go to bed early tonight since I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow to get ready for my 22 miler. I am really excited.

Note: I haven't been writing in the note section for a couple of days because well frankly I didn't have anything to say. However, some things did happen worth noting. Someone from my apt complex "hacked" into my router and locked me out since I had not provisioned my router when I first got it. Yeah, my sisters told me to do it but I am just not that savvy. So this was what I got. I've fixed the problem after being on the phone with a Linksys tech for 1 hour. If I ever find this guy, I am going to mess him up. This person renamed my router from Teddy to Haggis. So I renamed the router "U Suck Haggis". I am going to change it to something more profane in a few days. Yeah I am very childish like that.

On clean eating news, I was not so discipline yesterday and fell off the wagon a bit again...namely with that slice of blueberry coffee cake from Staryucks. I am just not having the best week. For some reason though, I feel great today. I feel stronger and ready to eat clean. Maybe I was just low on carbs.

On the running front, I have a 22 miler on Sunday morning. Yay! Also, my work is sponsoring employees to do the Nautica Malibu Triathlon - the relay portion. So I am on a team as a runner. It's nice that my company does this for us. I am kinda excited even though the run portion is only 6.2 miles. Would have been better if it was a full marathon, more bang for the buck. Maybe I don't know what the heck I am asking for..because that would be insane.

Afternoon protein mush (I was hungry as usual so I poured some Kashi Go Lean (the one with the fiber twigs in it) high protein cereal into a bowl with some water and microwaved it.

Note: I feel back on track today. I cooked alot of baked cod last night so I will be eating that for the next couple of days (yum). Last night I had che cravings and ended up buying 3 small containers of che from Banh Mi Che Cali. I found out that they are open 24 hours. That is just great and wonderful. While I was standing in line waiting for service from the che lady, the smell of the french bread/banh mi made me wanted to fall over. It smelled so good! I really miss breads in large quantity. I remember I use to eat breads, pasta, rice and noodles by the boat load at any one sitting. People were afraid to eat with me because if they weren't careful, they would lose a limb.
