In love with…a burrito?

A different slant on love on Valentine’s Day.


Long-Distance running requires at least one non-athletic activity to sustain performance:
Eating! Eating lots of carbohydrates.

What’s a good inexpensive way to eat lots of carbs? Well, make yourself a lot of rice, beans, and pasta. But if you’re out and need a quick fix: Burritos at Chipotle.

I sincerely hope that the Food, Inc. and other works that depict Chipotle as a buyer and supporter of sustainable agriculture are truthful, because a lot of food is served there.

Yesterday, after my long-run, I found myself ordering a burrito, stuffed to the gills…in fact, upon rolling it, the tortilla broke. I said they could just wrap the entire thing in another tortilla. I wish I had a picture of this thing…if you were to take a standard bottle of wine and knock the neck off…that was the size of this behemoth. I thought for sure I’d take half home, then reminiscent of Coney Island hot dog eating phenom “Kobayashi” I polished this thing off.

So to those who love…love to eat…running does have a desired side effect.
