I'm super excited as this will be my first Half Marathon and there is no other place I would rather be than Disney to have my inaugural distance ran than at the Happiest Place on Earth! I'll be in the last corral also as I didn't have a time to show. Are any of you doing the Pasta Party? @ Classy MOM - I'm staying at AKL and will be there solo since my parents and children are on the Disney Cruise and won't meet up with me until later on Sunday. I would love to meet up with some other runners.

Super excited to meet you. Are you staying at Anim...

Super excited to meet you. Are you staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge? Looks like we might run close to the same pace too!

Trying Chia may be a good excuse for me to justify that vitamixer :)

This is made down the street from my house I live it too!! So happy to see you found it!!

2012-02-14T10:06:39.181-05:00

I tried them about this time last year, they were alright when mixed with a liquid (water, juice, etc.) but when I tried to include them in a stir fry I ended up with debilitating stomach cramps (bent-over in the fetal position cramps). After ensuring it was the seeds and not something else, I gave the rest of them away.

2012-02-14T09:59:26.608-05:00

I just started eating it about a month ago after reading Born to Run. I have been eating it in yogurt and applesauce, but haven't tried it yet dissolvedin a liquid - I just don't think I could handle the texture.
I like it, and I am hoping that the longer I eat it, the more I feel its effects.

2012-02-13T21:43:44.926-05:00

I haven't read the book either, but there are certainly enough people out there who have to make me feel like I've read it.

2012-02-13T20:54:53.894-05:00

I Chia almost everyday and I like it! I have yet to read the book. You are not alone there! :-) I've been buying my chia at the bulk food section of my supermarket. Will check out what Running Food has to offer! Thanks for this post!

2012-02-13T15:13:47.635-05:00

I love chia! I just started having chia gel before my long runs a little over a month ago. I swear it makes a difference in how I feel during my runs.

I haven't read ANY running books, if that makes you feel any better.

2012-02-13T14:10:37.169-05:00

WELL Kelly since you asked ;) It used to be the spicy chicken crunchwrap supreme, but for some ridiculous reason they got rid of it. So I settle for the beef crunchwrap now. It's aiight. ;)

2012-02-13T13:09:17.282-05:00

I read the book, but I've never had Chia and I don't have those barefoot shoes. It's an interesting book, but I'm not about to go vegan and start fueling with pita and hummus.

I do, however, love Taco Bell. What's your favorite menu item? I'm a fan of the No. 1 combo.

2012-02-13T12:17:37.600-05:00

I have tried chia...it's not noticable at all when adding it to smoothies, oatmeal, etc. I have to admit that I have let it get shoved to the back of the pantry so maybe it's time to dig it out again :)

2012-02-13T11:22:12.852-05:00

I feel good about eating chia every day in my cottage cheese, salads, yogurt and sometimes smoothies. I found a great deal on it on Amazon.

2012-02-13T11:06:06.246-05:00

I use it everyday. Love the stuff! I use it in smoothies, oatmeal, my homemade protein balls, and so much more. It's great. GT's Kombucha even makes a couple Chia seed Kombuchas, which I notice really helps with endurance during runs when I drink it before a run.

2012-02-13T10:54:43.607-05:00

@ Carolina John That is not true John. They did use Chia Seeds in BTR. While you are correct they did eat pinole (corn mash) they also had iskiate (chia) that Chris and the indians in BTR swear by.

2012-02-13T10:11:34.285-05:00

Ok, you have sold me on this! I have read several articles on it, and yours is the final push that I needed. I haven't read the book either, though it is on my list. I will tell them RFM sent me :)

2012-02-13T10:04:11.872-05:00

Chia is great. Two years ago my doctor suggested my wife and I start using it and so we did. You are right! There is no taste so there is no reason not to eat it.

-And question of the day: no and no.....but would like to try it out now!

2012-02-13T09:20:18.566-05:00

Never tried it but will definitely check it out. I'm with you on the guilty pleasures and not eating great 100% of the time. Let's just say a jar of Nutella does not last long in this house at all!

What I really need to is to get a new blender and get back to making smoothies so that when I see a delicious-looking dessert or a recipe for decadent cookies, I can just look the other way...

love the book. LOVE. ALL. THINGS. CHIA. :-)
