Gobble, gobble!

That's the noise turkeys make, right?

I've found a suitable baby step on my way to half-marthonhood. A running store in Ann Arbor is sponsoring a Turkey Trot race in Dexter in November, and one of the events is the Iron Turkey Classic--it's a 5k followed by a 10k. Since I'm already able to do 7 miles at a time, I can reasonably build up to 10 miles by adding a mile every other week until the event. I think it will be good.

This week's cook-ahead meal is black bean and quinoa chili. No picture this time because for some reason, I can't get the camera to cough it up. Grrr. Anyway, because I can't seem to leave recipes as they're written, I ended up using three cans of beans--one kidney, one black, and one pinto--adding lime juice, and adding a little cayenne pepper. This is another keeper, but I'm not going to need to make it again for a long time because it made a *ton.*
