dark & chili

Good morning! I’ve been awake for hours already and am just about ready for an afternoon nap (it’s 7 am right now). I got an especially dark and early start on my run!

I met up with a new running buddy. She’s a teacher, which means she has to be a super early bird. Or maybe
night owl is more appropriate at this point?

We covered four miles together. Then I did three-ish alone/with some skeletons.

Did that run actually happen? I was asleep the whole time. Still a little sore from last week’s half marathon and long run, but felt pretty good otherwise!

All of these dark photos make me sad and even more tired. How about a bowl of soup to brighten things up?

Chili is one of my favorites. Especially when I make it in the slow cooker, aka my best friend. Speaking of BFFs, Anthony was out of town when I made this last week. So I used his recipe in honor of him.

The toppings are what make this soup the best! Avo, greek yogurt, cheese, and cilantro. And crunchy cheeps chips. Question: What’s your favorite brand of tortilla chips? I used Santita’s for the first time, which apparently are ranked #3 in the nationwide tortilla chip lineup. I thought they were pretty good, especially since the giant bag only cost $2! <3 me some cheap chips.

Okay, back on track. Here’s another photo of my chili bowl, which sat elegantly on the table for two minutes and then moved to a TV tray for a couple hours while I caught up on the Mindy Project. Girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

And that’s all I’ve got. Have a great day!
