I run 8-10 miles everyday, but I am addicted to PASTA. Is my running burning off those complex carbs?

I run everyday. I run 8-10 miles and do 400-700 crunches right after. I also do ab work and some light weight lifting. I incorporate Yoga into my workouts 3 times a week as well. I stretch out very well after each workout and I am a devotee of the Macrobiotic diet. I do have one guilty pleasure; I love Pasta. I eat it everyday.
I don't see anything wrong with it. I actually think that a lot of runners eat Pasta as it gives them fuel to burn while running. Is eating it everyday bad for me? I feel like It might make me gain weight? I stick to 100% Whole Grain Pasta and only eat Organic Pasta Sauces. Any suggestions?
What ur doing is awesome buy eating whole grain organic. Pasta is not good for people who are sedentary ( or dont move around much ) because of the extra carbs.
You are burning off those carbs rather quickly where another person has that " fuel " turn into fat.
HOpe that helps.
I ran cross country in high school and ran as much as u did ( well half as much 4-5 miles a day ) and ate whatever i wanted A LOT and did not gain an oz maybe cut a little.

As long as you're also eating enough other stuff to cover your micronutrient needs, it shouldn't hurt anything.
