Chile Relleno

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 | Helpful

Today I wanted to get some good food so I suggested to my roommate that we go out for dinner. He had been feeling kind of sick so I figured he wouldn’t be interested but he was. So I thought, how about UNO’s. I mean I always liked UNO’s and it’s hard to screw up deep dish pizza. So we looked up where the nearest one was and went.

Upon getting there we discovered that the location had “moved” to a new building. We went to where they had “moved” only to not find it. There were lots of other places to eat so we decided to just head back towards the house and stop at the first half-ass ok looking place.

That happened to be Mi Amigo’s. There we were given some tortilla chips and salsa… Neither of which tasted very good to me. Well upon looking over the menu I decided to go with the Chile Relleno. I had heard much hype over it from a certain member of this blog in the past, and figured now was the time to try it.

Well it was good. It was very good in fact. However there was a catch. Perhaps it was just conflict from the lagger I had ordered with dinner, but I will never really know…. See tonight was my night to go running. It was also gorgeous outside and I could of hardly come up with an excuse NOT to run.

Turns out my body didn’t really want me to run. I couldn’t take very deep breaths and the further I went the more prevalent the taste of Chile Relleno was (especially since I was burping more than breathing). Now I couldn’t puss out and just walk home, because that would ruin my night of exercise. So I huffed it out for probably 3-4 miles and got back feeling nauseous, but happy to have completed my run.

My friend Dan always said “it’s not a good run unless you throw up at the end“, but I always believed this to be bullshit (and I should know). I still will not rate my running experience as being good, and I was glad that I didn’t actually throw up… But I will think twice before I eat Chile Relleno on an exercise night.
