I’m at the gym tonight working on a 1 rep snatch max so I can partake in a fun CrossFit Austin workout (which, it turns out, I later mangled anyway). A few guys are also in there working out, and they’re not slouches–one of them is doing almost-handstand-pushups suspended from the TRX (the point? not…

Working out with friends
Saturday morning in Austin I got the chance to do something very, very rare: work out with friends!! Alex, Veronica, and I tackled Alex’s programmed workout from Wes at CrossFitAustin. It was a fun workout, but more importantly for me, it was fun to workout with friends! When I was in Austin all the time,…

Oops. I ate my whole dinner before I could take a pic! I have a foodie friend who has been RAVING about Buenos Aires Cafe for months, admonishing me with disbelief that I haven’t visited. I went for lunch a little while ago, and finally rounded up the fam, grabbed my restaurant.com discount certificate, and…
Three Things that I Love
1. That I went running last night around Town Lake, literally ran into a friend, walked a ways with him, and still finished 3 miles in under 24 minutes. In Converse (hello blisters). I love that Austin is a huge town, but so small. 2. Function > Looks with this list: 16 strict pull-ups > 16…

Sounds good to me! Want to join the Aspen…
