A nice man called David from Creative Emporium decided to make us some hoodies to help us keep warm on our early morning runs. We're really pleased with our super snug hoodies and they've inspired us to adopt a new running mantra - Wear Rocky. Feel Rocky. Be Rocky (grrrrr).
Last week, we headed to the softer ground of Richmond Park for a big Rocky style run. We saw lots of deer, greeted fellow runnners and cyclists with happy hellos and got our trainers all muddy (which made us feel like real runners). We also got a bit lost and ended up being overtaken by power walkers, so we've decided to write directions on our hands from now on.
This week sees the last of our big runs, so we're spending the week resting and eating pasta in preparation. If you've got any tasty pasta bake recipes, please do let us know.
Baked ziti: my favourite pasta bake type dish ever. You can find lots of recipies online, but basically go for some kind of tube type pasta, mix with a lot of ricotta cheese, a lot of Italian seasonings, a lot of tomato sauce, then sprinkle the top with parmasan and bake. Of course, you could add more and healthier things to it I'm sure, but just that is quite delicious and easy to make.

Being posh, I tend to use the pasta bake recipe from Nigella Lawson's book FEAST, rigatoni al forno. It's very nice, but even nicer when you use chopped up steak pieces instead of beef mince, because it feels less like you're just eating lasagne. And of course, beef is high in protein, very useful for after those arduous cross-country jaunts. Mmm, meaty!

Thanks for those recipes; they both sound lush.
My housemate very kindly made me fresh pasta this w/e; got his fancy pasta making kit out and everything.
Unfortunately, he also ate my portion before I got home from my 20mile run as apparently 'it would have turned to mush' by the time I got back.
The thought was there though.
