Well, after purchasing that massive can of chickpeas this weekend I figured I better start trying to make a dent in them! The main players in this recipe were this massive amount of chickpeas (I was rinsing off), ww couscous and eggplant I cooked up in a pan with seasoning. I saw a Chickpea Salad…

Defeated
I was supposed to do 14 miles today, but ended up having a really bad run and walking most of the hills and cutting out at 12 miles. I was super defeated 🙁 It really sucks to have a bad run, I feel like crap now. Boo. But, to keep it in perspective, it’s not the end of the world…
