You KNOW if I was in Austin full-time anymore, I’d be playing in this league. Girls Play Tough is a women’s flag football league in Austin, Houston, and Dallas. There’s training camp, a 6-week season, and post-season tourneys for the league and between all three cities. Awesome! GirlsPlayTough “promotes contributions to women charities, an entertaining…

My Favorite Places
For an advisory position I’m fulfilling this coming week (more about that later!), I had to list my favorite places. As I sat down with both Austin and Aspen categories, I realized that the majority of my fave places are fitness-and-outdoors-related. No surprise, right? In Aspen: Bleeker Street, King Yoga, Rio Grande Trail, Jimmy’s, and…
Austin & Aspen: Courtney—Get This—Sames
Samesies! How many times have you said that comparing two things that are the, well, same? I love drawing parallels between Austin and Aspen, so you can imagine how tickled I was to get an email from Courtney SAMES, photographer from Austin, who was headed to Aspen to spend the summer. Samesies! Turns out, Courtney…
South Central Regionals Envy
All my friends are here. I’m having a great time at Food & Wine in Aspen, so I’m not exactly complaining, just having a little Regionals envy. There’s nothing more fun than cheering your friends on with more of your friends. I’m watching twitter and the games site lookin’ for updates on my fave people.…
Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is awesome. This is him with Denali, when she was just a puppy. He is funny. My family isn’t really a brunching family, except when it comes to people’s birthdays, holidays, or relatives in town … erm, so maybe we are? Dad loves Waterloo Icehouse’s brunch, but then again, he’s never tried TRACE…

14:56. Running around the block, inexact measurement but time was about right. All OHS unbroken. Wanted to blame the altitude on my slowdown in running, but I live here.
Summer Tank Tops
Over at xlyssa.com, I posted a roundup of summer fitness tanks I just have to have, which got me started thinking … pretty much all I wear all summer is tanks. Fitness or fancy, top or dress, I love tanks! So here’s a fab summer roundup of classic racerback tanks (including my fitness faves). Make…

ASPEN: Food & Wine Classic
I just got back from an Aspen Business Luncheon with Food & Wine Publisher and Vice President Christina Grdovic. She was an excellent, fast-paced speaker, and her talk really got me jazzed about the upcoming weekend! Even though I don’t have passes to the actual events, there’s plenty for me to do … ASPEN magazine,…
