Caprese Salads Made from Fresh Basil and Tomato

I made one of these for lunch on Sunday. Caprese Salads with tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil, salt and pepper, vinaigrette and olive oil. I’m pretty sure I’ll be eating these daily for the next week. I bought a 16 oz. package of fresh mozzarella. The more cheese the better.

I also accomplished some great workouts this past week. My lower body routine Thursday lacked a bit of finesse. I find the day before my rest day is always the hardest workout for me. But I met my mileage goals and Monday and Wednesday’s runs were strong in particular for me.

In other weekend fun, I spent some time reading. A lot. Some of it was done by the pool where there was little to no appearance by the sun. My time was also accompanied by more massive quantities of iced green tea.

This Starbucks cold cup was one of the best purchases ever. I seriously use this thing about 14 times a week, as in twice daily, no joke. I should be the Starbucks cold cup rep.

Mostly I read some professional public relations magazines I get in the mail; stuff that you can easily throw in a pile once it arrives and forget about it. Then before you know it, the pile is a monster.

I took it all out in one fell swoop. I was actually eager to see some Twitter tips and even blogging tips in there! I learned that most readers want to see about 400 words of text. And that bullet points and breakout text is much easier on the eyes too.

    When I'm drowning in tomatoes and basil from my farm share during August, I eat a caprese salad every single night. My local market sells real buffalo milk mozzarella from Italy, and that combined with a fresh ripe tomato and basil are just heavenly.

    I spent the weekend in my hometown in Ohio for Father's Day. No workouts because of Frankenboot, but life is still good. 🙂

    Had a great weekend with the Fish Festival 5K PR, relaxing at home yesterday and getting in a 12 mile bike ride.

    Love caprese salads! The hardest workout for me is the one that FOLLOWS my rest day. Hard for me to get back into the workout mentality, definitely!
