Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness

by Scott Jurek

Holy Moly Guacamole Avocados are a great source of healthy, monounsaturated fat, and the jalapeño adds a nice jolt of spice (scrape the seeds out before mincing and use half of the pepper if you can’t take the heat). Noble foods on their own, they combine to create one of mankind’s greatest inventions. It’s certainly one of my favorites. I can’t think of many dinners—and not a single Mexican one—that aren’t improved with a serving of guac. Take a spoonful of this mixture and you’ll agree. For a quick and healthy snack, enjoy on warm corn tortillas. 2 ripe avocados Juice of 2 small limes 1 medium tomato, diced 1 garlic clove, minced 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds left in, minced 10 sprigs fresh cilantro, minced 1 teaspoon sea salt Halve the avocados and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and add the remaining ingredients. Mash with a potato masher or a spoon until semi-smooth and let rest at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes.
