Last night Layla came over for dinner and Amina was kind enough to cook dinner for all of us. She made butter chicken, daal and yogurt with cucumbers. It was quite a tasty meal and I was thrilled when there were leftovers because I love eating daal for breakfast - especially before running. When I told her I was going to eat it this morning, Amina laughed and said to me "that's what horses eat! It gives them strength..." Horses eat lentils flavored with garlic, hot peppers and spices (for breakfast)? hmm...
The breakfast: a plate of daal and 2 glasses of water
The run: met at MIT, ran the MOS loop, passed the Mass Ave bridge, went over the Anderson footbridge and headed back to MIT: 8.2ish total miles.
All I can say is that the proof is in the daal. I had an amazing run this morning, full of energy and completely pain free. This might become a long-run tradition. I just need to somehow convince Amina to cook for me more often.
