Gluten Free, Lower In Fat, “Sugar” Free Cashew Butter Cookies

So many frustrations right now. When I try to run, my hip flat out hurts. More rest is needed but that's very difficult when you're obsessive. I admit it. So what do I do? I continue to run to see if it feels any better. Today was a slow 3 with Shane then a faster 3 with Zoey, the last mile being a tempo mile. The result was a very stiff, achy body.
