Backyard BBQ's, Baseball, Beards, and BODYARMOR

The weather is heating up big time in Phoenix and we are trying to spend as much time outdoors while we still can. We wanted to have a little backyard BBQ, hang out, do a little swimming, grilling, and just relax, enjoy each others company, and also watch the D-Backs game. We were missing a few essentials for our meal and I didn't want to drag the kids into the store, so I used my favorite #MomHack ever - Fry's ClickList.

ClickList is the best thing ever. You order your groceries at home, from your phone or computer, and then specify an hour window of when you're going to pick it all up. When you arrive to the Fry's store, you don't even have to get out of your car - they wheel your groceries right out to you!

We had the most memorable ClickList experience that day because not only did THE Archie Bradley, All-Star Pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, in his full-bearded glory bring out our load, but an entire news camera crew came a long with him!

To say I was shocked and starstruck was an understatement! 

He was at the Arizona Fry's Food Store because he is an official BODYARMOR athlete and was there to surprise and delight his fans and Fry's customers with personal attention and caseloads of complimentary BODYARMOR.

I have been a big fan of BODYARMOR for a few years now. I love that they are a better for you sports drink, made with real fruit juice and coconut water for optimal hydration. Since I worked with them last, they have launched a few new products that I am super excited about. They have their new BODYARMOR Lyte which is sweetened with stevia, but still has all of the real fruit and coconut water goodness as the original formula, just less calories. 

They also have an Electrolyte Sports Formula SportWater that is amazing for runners. This last training season, I started drinking a full liter of electrolyte enhanced water the afternoon before a long run and I really feel like it helped super-hydrate my body for all the work I put it through the following day. BODYARMOR's formula is made with a proprietary blend of potassium, magnesium, and calcium for maximum athlete hydration. I'm a HUGE believer in electrolyte waters so I'm super excited that my favorite brand BODYARMOR now makes one! I think I'm going to start filling my water bottle with this super hydrating water for all of my summer running excursions to help keep me extra hydrated.

So enough rambling on about how our grocery trip went (although I'm still shaking, thinking, did that really happen?) now onto our BBQ spread!

Adam grilled up tasty chicken sausages and I made a yummy pasta salad that we served up alongside some sweet little apricots (my favorite!). We quenched our thirst with ice cold bottles of BODYARMOR that my new bestie, Archie, hooked us up with too. Oh and the Diamondbacks won and Taylor learned how to jump in the pool so it was a good night for us all!

Have you ever run into anyone famous? If so, who and where were you at? When do you drink sports drinks: before, during, or after a run?
