Pumpkin Pancakes

Last night Bosco was up way more then usual which meant we were up a lot! Poor baby had to use the bathroom like 5 times!  So I decided against our 5:30 fun run. I miss my running friends so much, hoping to be back at it next week!!!

When I did crawl out of bed I couldn’t decide what to do for a workout , KB?, Hot Yoga?, run alone?, or the gym? I decided on the gym I am still SUPER SORE from Hot Yoga on Wednesday night, so when I got to the gym I looked like this:
