cha cha cha chia!

Hey guys!! Yesterday was a busy day at work and baby schtuff.But I was able to get my workout in, I was planning on a run in the morning but baby B had a horrible night.. (teething is NO fun) and I made the choice to press snooze but I was able to get a workout in later. When I don't wake up before the sun to get my workout in I STILL make it a priority to get it done.  A few people asked me what I do with the babies when I workout during the day.. When I workout at GPP we have the privilege to bring them!! They also have a room in the back that the older kids can hang out in with a window so they can see you the whole time. It seems to be ideal for most mothers;)

Do they ever cry? Of course, but most of the time they are the most perfect precious babies although they have their days every so often, but if they get fussy or sad I turn my workout into a great game of peek-a-boo. (They think burpees are hilarious). The workouts are pretty entertaining to them ;)

So, today has been amazing so far, I released Bodypump 77 this morning and logged my 12 miles from my training plan. I think I'm ready for the Moab half next weekend! It was great weather today and I felt great the whole run! T.
The best part of having a race exactly a week away is that you get to taper down. and CARB load.. woot woot. run less.. and eat more.. I'm not going to complain about that.
Last night Brent was working so it was just me and the babes all night. Nothing exciting, I was studying for the release---Welcome to procrastination station.. But everything went well though. The new release is so fun!
After the run I had a recovery shake with some delicious oats with chia seeds,blackberries and 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein. This was my first eat with chia. I love them!! They are high in omega 3's so DIG in! Keep an eye out for some fun new recipes with these little power seeds.
