Those tomatoes look great! I love pasta and I don’t think I’ve tried any that I didn’t like. Back home, we would always make spaghetti. In restaurants, I’d choose pesto or spinach cannelloni. Yum!:D

That pasta looks yum yum yummy! Last night I made your greek turkey burgers and they were great! The manfriend agreed. We had them on top of a piece of whole wheat double fiber 70cal bread w/ a little ketchup and mustard, a handful of fresh spinach, and a few slices of tomato. Yum! Also made a few extras for tonight. And we each had a bud light lime to go with. Perfect din din after some cycling!

Awesome advice, Kim – thank you! I know – I can definitely feel the energy being sucked out of me when my arms tense up…definitely going to focus more on relaxing!

I LOVE pasta! And for any endurance runner it would be a sin to avoid it – your body needs the carbs! Shoulder/neck tensing is a very common issue – it tends to happen more the more tired you already are. Unfortunately, that’s counter productive because running tensed like that takes twice as much energy and will eventually affect your breathing. I recommend making relaxing your shoulders the focus of your run. Also, a lot of time the tensing comes as a result of too much “twist” in your upper body – make sure your arms are swinging “hip to nip” (directionally – don’t actually bring them up that far!)
Whew – long post but hopefully helpful!

Hmmmm – I like a really fresh pomodoro sauce like the one here: http://iowagirleats.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/sweet-finish/ It’s not extremely “saucy” but VERY light and fresh! Or, http://www.Allrecipes.com is always a great resource for recipes!

Your pasta recipe totally sounds like mine. Saute fresh veggies of some sort… add wine of some sort… add penne. maybe some cheese.

I made amazing pasta last night! I had grilled veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, red peppers, yellow peppers, green peppers and a red onion) leftover from my girls’ day on Sunday and I had a tomato. I sauteed the tomato in olive oil for a bit, added the grilled veggies and a 1/4 cup or so of merlot… let it cook down a bit, then added my cooked pasta. The only thing I was missing was parmesan cheese to sprinkle with, but I wasn’t about to go to the store just for parm!

Delish!
