My folks had so much zucchini in their garden so I decided tonight to make a lasagna without noodles.
I sliced the zucchini super thin and sautéed it in a pan with garlic and oil first. I should have read the Internet before that because apparently you’re supposed to salt the zucchini to draw out moisture. My finished product was a little watery but not that bad considering I didn’t use a recipe. I layered the zucchini with ricotta, mozzarella, fresh basil (also from my dad’s garden) marinara sauce, and some bread crumbs. Tasty! I’ll be eating this for lunch the next few days paired with some pasta and meatballs…Bellisimo!
Think pink! Boy was I sweaty!

I was just coming back from an ankle injury and my calves were super achy. I think the only reason I don’t wear them more is because I usually wear capris and it looks kinda silly for some reason to have tall socks on.

Great giveaway, thanks! Fun fact about me: I couldn’t pass the Presidential Fitness test mile run all through middle/high school and thought that I just didn’t have the genetic makeup to be a runner. I’m still a bit shocked at times that I not only love running, but specifically marathoning 🙂
I had a similar situation. I flunked out of the track team in H.S.
What a fun giveaway- and a nice way to pay it forward! Hmmm fun fact about me…I had knee surgery on both of my knees when I was 18 and was told I probably shouldn’t run anymore. Since then I have ran 4 half marathons and countless 10ks/5ks- all pain free! I recently committed to running 30 races before I turn 30! (I’m 26, and have 10 done…so I better get running!)
Love it! Defying the odds.
I like wearing compression socks or sleeves after a hard run. I have also found they help when I have a long car ride. All that sitting on my tired running legs makes them ache. But the socks sure help!
I should have worn them for my big road trip Saturday! Great idea!
I’ve not once had an oz of hard liquor or smoked a cigarette in my life. That’s fun right?! Like a need another pair of socks =)
Ha. Yes. NO MORE PRO CO FOR YOU! Wow. That’s a cool and unexpected fact. I have never had a cigarette but hard liquor…well….
Hello,
I love your blog and have been reading since the start but this is my first time commenting!! (first time commenting on a blog ever!)
I was an athlete all through high school but was constantly plagued by shin splints:( For years after high school I would try to start running but always gave up once the shin splints started. I had been told MANY times to go to a running store to get fitted for the proper pair of running shoes. I always thought that was a gimmick. At my husband instance I finally went 2 years ago to get fitted. Turns out it wasn’t a gimmick and I have not suffered a shin splint since, and I run 4 times a week!!
Honored to be the blog of your first comment ever! =) How wonderful that just a proper pair of shoes could send those shin splints packing.
Been following your blog for a few months…I love your attitude and outlook on life! Never have worn compression anything but I am intrigued. Fun fact…I just learned to play “Turkey in the Straw” on the jaw harp. :). Love internet tutorials! Now my kids think I am super cool! (That is because they are 1, 5, and 6…soon enough they will think that is lame…
Now that’s a fun fact! =)
That lasagna looks great!! Fun fact: my middle name was supposed to be my first name in honor I’d my dads grandmother, but my mom didn’t like it, so my mom decided to switch it without my dad knowing at the hospital. It took 15 years for my dad (and me!) to find out,since they’d planned to call me by my “middle” name all along.
That’s crazy!
I love to wear compression socks while running and traveling when I have to sit for long periods of time. Fun fact about me, I love green olives! I can’t get enough of them, I eat them straight out of the jar and add them to most recipes. I even put them on potato chips!
So I guess it’s safe to say you love salty foods =)
Fun Fact: I survived an f4 tornado going through my town!
that’s more like scary fact. So glad you survived it.

I love pro compression and zucchini! And now for a fun fact: I never wore makeup until I graduated college. I was worried I wouldn’t look good in job interviews so I called up a Mary Kay lady to teach me about it and how to apply it. I barely ever wear it now. 🙂
I love ProCompression low socks for running, but have not tried any of their other products. Fun fact: your blog is my favorite! I love Duncans appearances on the blog, I am a huge dog person so he makes me smile.
My fun fact is that I was told as a kid that I could never run due to severe asthma. I have now run four half marathons and am signed up for the Glass Slipper Challenge at Disney in February! 🙂
Love defying the odds stories! Ooh glass slipper challenge. Is that similar to the goofy challenge?
Fun Fact…. I love morning runs! I also love ProCompression too.
What’s your secret for morning runs? Once I am out there I am happy but I have such a hard time getting out the door.
Fun fact: I used to play roller derby – super fun, but the risk of severe injury was a little much after a while!
PRO leggings are pretty much my favorite – I also have 2 pairs! 🙂
Fun fact: I can ride a unicycle! My parents bought me one for Christmas when I was really little and my dad said he would pay be $100 if I could ride it around the block without falling, so I taught myself!
Fun fact; I have crazy long second toes. So much longer than my big toes. I can pinch people with them and pick things up using those toes like you do with your fingers!
That can definitely come in handy! Or should I say “footy!” Lol.
Good one, Sally! I guess she really handed that one to you, eh? Oh…footed? 🙂
I also have the longer second toe…both have recently lost their nails because they hit the front of my shoes when I run and we are a bit hilly here.
