Hello!!!! How was your day? Mine was good except my glands are still swollen despite the ibuprofen I took 3 times today. I’m probably a goner. Who wants to take over RER when I die?
I made rookie mistake #1 and went to Trader Joe’s after work hungry. So this happened. So.so.good.bad.
At least dinner was healthy – tilapia, brown rice and roasted brussel sprouts. Love.
Brussels Make Muscles so eat up!!!* 
(*This statement is not approved by the FDA. And this pic is from last year. And I’m a mess.)
Remember last week when I used my awesome Runaroni pasta to make dinner?
Fun fact: Pasta tastes better when its in the shape of runners and shoes! It’s science.
I got a lot of questions asking, “Where can I buy this pasta?!”
Unfortunately, it’s not being sold right now 
But, my friends at Brooks are giving one lucky RER reader a bag of the Runaroni!

I love pasta and would love to try this before my next 1/2 marathon over MLK weekend!!
Pasta? Check. Carbs? CHECK! Food? CHECK!!!
Bagels, pasta, and I are BFFs. Sandwiches reign supreme. Cereal is a staple food. Runaroni fits into this ‘diet’ perfectly
I can assure you I am in love with carbs lol.
Who doesn’t love pasta and carbs???? Yum! Even my 5 year old loves carbs. My 2 1/2 year old took longer to figure it out, but is finally coming over to the dark side.
I absolutely love pasta, carbs…and just food overall:) Just made some angel hair garlic cream pasta with baked salmon last night. Wonderful. Your food pic reminds me I need to get some brussels sprouts really soon!

Who doesn’t love pasta??? I’m pretty sure knowing that I get to eat a nice helping of pasta post-workout gets me through every time.

Pasta is so much better in shapes. Spongebob macaroni >> regular macaroni.
I love pasta and carbs so much I had to start running to justify just how many carbs I eat!
Me! Me! Me! Especially the Aglio Olio; love my pasta plain with EVO and sprinkled with herbs.
I am a mother of three. Pasta is a staple in my house. The kids would be thrilled to have running pasta since their mom just ran a martahon.. they are very excited about running all of a sudden.
I love pasta. I want to move to Italy just for that reason!
Carbs are pretty much the reason I run. The facebook photo of me in sweaty running gear at the local craft beer bar yesterday (eating cheese and crackers) certainly says so!
I like carbs AND pasta AND food!

I love carbs. I also love pasta. And, yes, I love food.

Somehow shaped pasta always tastes better!
I ate 6 restaurant sized pancakes for dinner last night. I think that counts!

I LOVE CARBS!! It is what i most look forward to during half marathon training
I love carbs. They have never been my enemy.
Just make sure you rest and take care of yourself. Swollen glands mean your body is fighting something off. A sore throat seems to be going around.
The Kidless Kronicles
I <3 pasta!
I love love love carbs…maybe a little too much!
I love carbs! And I would make homemade mac and cheese out of those little sneakers and runners!
food is my first true love.
Love food, pasta, carbs, you name it, I eat it!
ummm…i eat cereal every single night. then about minutes after that, i eat ice cream.
this is why i work out.
ohh yes. love them carbs.
This may be a silly question but if you work from home why don’t you just go to the doctor? You could even just go to a CVS Minute Clinic. Also, try a sore throat liquid medicine. It is more efficient than an ib profen.
Ahhhh that pasta is so cute!!! I love carbs and want.
hollatcha grrrrl. love carbs, pasta, AND food!
AAAAAAAAAND am beyond in love with the tank you’re wearing in that pic! hahahah too good!

I am absolutely, completely, and totally in love with carbs of any form, especially pasta.

Ugh, I’ve been avoiding that popcorn EVERYTIME I’m at TJ’s, I’m going to cave soon, I know it! Carbs…yes please!
Haha easiest comment ever! I love all of the above. When I was deployed, spaghetti day was the highlight of my week! At least now I can mix it up with lasagna, penne, ziti, angel hair…I could go on and on…and hopefully runaroni!
I love food – and this would make for the best mac & cheese!
Do you really need assurance?! I don’t think anyone hates carbs…
LOVE LOVE ALL THINGS CARB!
Carbs are the only food worth eating!
I love pasta of all types!!! I have several friends who are carb free – I tell them to send all their carbs my way!!! Love the runner past!
Hope you start feeling better soon!
Yum Yum Yum! I just discovered a pasta sauce I love and ate it with bread last night because I was out of pasta!!! I would love to this fun shaped pasta to eat my sauce with! And yes, pasta does tastes better in fun shapes!
EATING FOOD WHILE WRITING THIS.
EAT ALL THE CARBS! I’m currently injured (stupid it band) but still feel the need to carb load like I’m race training, so I think it’s safe to say that I just love all things carby. Plus, nothing would cheer me up more than biting the heads off happy little pasta runners! (kidding.. sorta).
I love ALL THE PASTA and ALL THE CARBS. Seriously. Way too much.
It would be a LIE to tell you I did not love pasta and carbs!
I totes magotes love carbs and pasta. SO hard.
Being a runner in training= all carbs, all the time
Carbs? Pasta? Food? Ha! My middle name is Carbpastafood…
Carbs are my life and running is my life so runaroni sounds like the best thing EVER. I hope I win!
Me and carbs are best friends…I mean pasta, bread, cookies, cinnamin rolls all welcome here!
Love love love me some pasta!!!!! & most food in general
)
I am a pasta fiend… I wonder how these shapes would look baked into some running-themed mac & cheese!
Roses are red….
Pasta haters are full of baloney
Carbs are the best food group
So please send me some Runaroni
And yes I know it is “bologna”… but the spelling that way just didn’t have the same effect
I love pasta, carbs, and food. It is the trifecta of goodness
If eating carbs were an Olympic event, I’d be a gold medalist.
I ASSURE YOU I love pasta and carbs.
I grew up in an Italian family. Pasta is life.
I love pasta! In fact, I made it last night and thought “Gee, I really wish I had some of those really awesome runner noodles” – and had to settle for shells. I like shells because the hold more sauce! yum.
I love brussel sprouts also. I’ve never roasted them before because they aren’t readily available fresh in my area. I’ll def put that on my to-do list next time I see them.
Gee – I hope you feel better soon! Have a sore throat is the.absolute.worst! uck!
I run for carbs!
who doesn’t love pasta
A life without carbs is just not a life worth living!
I love pasta! I’d eat it every day, but I need more balance then that. But it’s GOOOOOOOD.
Do you really need assurances? Well, I assure you I do!
Carbs before run, you’ll have lotsa fun.
Run without pasta, it’s pain you’ll have lotsa!
Pasta= yummy!
Pizza and Pasta and Bread oh my! Thanks Monica & Brooks!
If I didn’t have carbs, I would die.
Not literally.
MMMMMMM Pastaaaaa. And I am positive it will taste better in runner form
I LOVE MY CARBY CARBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it edible? Then yes, I love carbs!!
These are adorable, I would love these, and then have a pasta/carb party at my house with my friends after our next race!
This sounds awesome! Since they don’t sell it right now i may not eat it. Maybe i would make a macaroni garland and string it around my tree!
Running pasta?! My friends would get a kick out of that since I talk non stop about running. I love carbs and a Trader Joe’s just opened here so I must try that popcorn.
LOVE food, carbs and obv pasta. I like pasta best with just some butter or olive oil, tons of garlic and salt. Weird.
I love me some pasta, especially when it’s shaped like my sweet kicks!
I cannot and will not give up carbs ever – LOVE them!
I love pasta and carbs for training for my first full marathon!
I love carbs…as a child, I used to snack on slice after slice after slice of plain bread.
I loooove pasta and basically any carb there is!

I love pasta, carbs and food!
Last Christmas I gave all my family memebers bags of pasta in different shapes! Pasta in the shape of running shoes = perfection!
I think its mean that Brooks teases us with shoes and pasta we can’t buy! I have been looking forward to the PureDrift since I saw them in your chocolate egg! And, I love pasta probably more than I love shoes!
Best pasta ever is lasagna. Hands down. The runaroni looks like a close second.
I am a carbaholic!
Pasta, rice, bread – you name it, I love it!!!
all carbs all day!
Food that’s shaped like shoes? Maybe it will fuel and inspire me to brave the cold and go for a run!
Im pretty much a pasta addict!
Who wouldn’t love carbs?!?!
I love pasta, I love carbs and I love pasta in shoe shape running to my mouth!
I love to make a good PASTA!!! Yummy!
i love pasta covered in parmesan cheese!
I am a pasta fanatic. My husband would tell you I do NOT need to win this because I would inhale those cute little shoes in one gulp! But I’m pretty sure the joy that would bring me means I really do need this!!
I can eat pasta 3 times a day and not be sick of it. Particularly my mom’s lasagna. I eat that stuff cold out of the fridge at 2 in the morning when my fiancee thinks I’m asleep. Sleep with lasagna in the house? Ha! Anyway, yeah, I love food.
Carbs are my homie. And this pasta is probably the closest i’ll get to running that much more. So pity me and let me win.
I love all food! And pasta and carbs!
I love food! Sometimes a little too much…
Love pasta and carbs in all forms. Obviously.
Hi! I love your blog but I love food even more! If I had to be on a low carb diet I would probably die. I really need some runaroni!

I am a carb-a-holic. Good thing I am a runner too! They go hand in hand.
I love pasta!! Eating it right now!! Yummy.
I love pasta, I love carbs, I love foooooooooood!
I think the only thing I would like better than pasta is pasta shaped like shoes! And my kids would get a kick out of it too
I love carbs, especially pasta. Those shoe shaped ones are adorable. They’re like the adult version of the ones shaped like Spongebob and Scooby Doo from my child hood.
Carbs, carbs, carbs!!! Let me at ‘em
I love pasta but my boyfriend, a triathlete, REALLY loves pasta. I’d win an award of some sort if I fed him runner-shaped pasta!
Carbs are my friend!
OMG this is the best idea ever for the dinner the night before a big race and I LOVE my carbs!!!
Who doesn’t love carbs?? My lunch consisted of mac & cheese and pizza!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pasta! I am really intrigued by what you say about this pasta and want to give it a try.
Running and carbs are a match made in heaven hence my obsession with both…and coming from an Italian family when pasta is made with everything!
I love both pasta and carbs.
I just HAVE to win the Runaroni for my middle grandson, Jayson. He’s in non-stop action all the time…running, pogo stick, scooter…but he’s the pickiest eater in the world! He does, however, love pasta, and I think that the little shoes might encourage him to eat his dinner. I will give my daughter the recipe for Runaroni Pasta so she can get good carbs AND some veggies and protein into this young man, too. And thanks!
As a runner, I cannot live without my CARBS! From oatmeal in the morning, whole grain sandwiches at lunch, and brown rice in the evening, I would LOVE to add this pasta to my repertoire!
I love running, carbs, pasta, food and your blog!
Runner’s need pasta right?
Love pasta, love carbs, love running, love your blog….have a great day!

Yep…I’m loving the PASTA TOOOO MUCH! MmmMMMmmmMMM!
mmm, pasta.
I’m Italian so of course I love anything that has to do with pasta!!!
It’s in my blood to love pasta since I’m part Italian. But really I eat it a lot: pasta salad, homemade Mac and cheese, lasagne, tortellini soup (awesome and easy recipe if you’re interested), etc etc. And I think you are right it must taste better when it’s shaped like runners and running shoes!
Is that a serious question? Of course I love food!
Love!
Carbs? My favorite thing EVER!
I could live off of pasta and anything carbs. LOVE it.
Food, carbs , pasta, bread, cookies-I love it all!
I could eat noodles all day everyday. Carboholic!!
