Mid-morning I got a random craving for hard boiled eggs. So I cooked up a bunch and made egg salad for lunch. (Ha, that kinda rhymes.)
I left my sandwich open face so I would have room for chips. The Better Chip peeps sent me a variety of flavors. I had the Sweet Onion and Ben tried the Fresh Corn – both get a thumbs up!
They’re only sold in stores in 13 states right now, so I asked to do a giveaway in case you wanted to try them too
Want to win a variety pack of The Better Chips?

Vegas either loves or hates my running shoes…
And Sarah Fit made a video from the Relay. I am watching it on repeat trying to relive that amazing experience.
Running and Eating in the News:
John Hopkins study finds that the risk of dying while running a marathon is low, but it’s higher for men. Finally having a vagina has a perk.
Runner’s World is challenging you to a running streak! The Challenge: Run at least 1 mile everyday from Memorial Day 5/28 to the Fourth of July (that’s 38 days of running).

I have enjoyed reading your recaps, as well as your team mates recaps. I would have freaked out too, I think we all would have. The mind can play tricks on you, and it has happened to me, but I was not running on a dark road, alone. I bet you must feel so proud of yourself for completing the RTB. Congrats.

I’m curious about how spicy the jalapeno flavor is. I just realized my favorite jalapeno flavored chip contains MSG 🙁 I need to find a new, neuro-toxin free favorite!

I just tried them for you 😉 They’re not very spicy, but super good.
Sarah says
Oh thank you! So glad you could oblige.
Heather@YSP says
Those chips look awesome, and jalapeno is my hubby’s favorite!

🙂

Jenna U. says

My cat does the same thing! She normally does it to the shoes of our guests, I assume since anything that comes into out apt is automatically hers and must smell accordingly.
Tia says
I’m in Canada, boo for me. Cute little rhyme though! I’m paranoid about boiling eggs…it never ever ever works out for me.
Funny story, we installed this new security system and the promo is that you get free cameras. Me and the hubby were totally weirdo out but it’s a free trial thing so whatever. I flicked it on today while I was at work and the husband was at home and I caught my dog chewing my shoe to pieces while my husband is upstairs watching tv! Was to funny, had to text him to go save my shoe!
Debbie D says
I thought you were going to tell us you had found the perfect choc chip cookie finally. But I am always up for some tasty chips 🙂

In reference to the John Hopkins study — I read somewhere that you’re more likely to die from driving 26 miles (car accident) than running 26 miles on a traffic-free course. Who knows if it’s true! P.S. Love chips.

Marty says
Would love to win some chips!
Melissa Kirkham says
I saw Better Chip and immediately expected something better than a regular CHOCOLATE chip. Hmm… PMS anyone? Oh, and yes, I snorted out loud over the vagina perk. Hilarious…
