Running With Buddy and a Recipe

My GPS watch still isn't working right. I've tried all the troubleshooting fixes, and now it's looking like it may end up getting replaced. At least it waited until after the marathon to stop working.

Even though I'm mostly watch-less (I can see some of the stats after a run, but nothing during) I had a really good run on Sunday. It's the first run since the marathon that I can honestly say that about. I threw on an audiobook and went on my way - and I enjoyed myself! It was pretty great.

Buddy has been loving my new running schedule. He has two days a week penciled in where he gets to come with me. We do 2-3 miles and he gets insanely excited when he sees his running leash. He knows it's different than going for a walk. On a walk he stops every few feet to sniff things, but once we're running he's good about not making any abrupt pit stops.

I made a pretty tasty (and easy) dinner tonight. I was inspired by this recipe from PaleOMG, and made some additions. Ok, one addition and some hot sauce. Plus, butternut squash never cooks as quickly as recipes tell me it will.

I completely failed to take a picture before we ate it all, because I was busy worrying that I overcooked the eggs (I didn't).

Butternut Squash Hash

Adapted from this recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced 
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 pound chorizo
• 1 bunch kale, roughly chopped
• salt, pepper and granulated garlic, to taste
• 4 eggs (or however many you want to squeeze in there)
• hot sauce

Instructions:

• Place a cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Add butternut squash and onion.
• Cook butternut squash and onions a few minutes (5-10) until edges are browned. Turn heat to low and cover pan, cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until squash is soft. 
• Once squash is mostly cooked, add chorizo. Break chorizo into small pieces, and cook until completely cooked through.
• While chorizo cooks, add kale, and cook until wilted. 
• Use a spoon to press in 4 little crevices. Crack eggs into the crevices. Place a lid over the pan and cook until eggs are cooked to over easy (or to preference), about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve with hot sauce! (we used Cholula, because it's good on everything)
