Long Run
I haven’t run long distances in quite some time–CrossFit says I don’t have to, after all. But on vacation, I gotta get in what I can, so when Caitlin asked if anyone wanted to go on a long run this morning, I volunteered myself. She woke me up at 6:40am. I do not get up…
March Bar Madness
You all probably know about Thrillist by now – the Daily Candy for dudes that chicks dig too. I dig it because the Austin Thrillist dude knows about everything cool before or at the same time as me–which never ceases to impress me. Anyway, the site is hosting a nationwide Bar Madness Sweepstakes – a…
Shoes for CrossFittin’
Sometimes it’s tough to find a shoe for CrossFit that can meet all your needs: not only are they cute, but they NEED to be functional for running and lifting. Sure, you have your running shoes, your casual sneaks, maybe even your Vibrams, but what shoe can you wear that’ll meet any WOD’s demands? The…
Road Trip WOD
Partner WOD, for time: 2 buffalo burgers sans bun 1114.8 miles driving 7 gas station stops 1 McLatte 1 crappy gas station coffee 2 surprise sprints with the pup *WOD must be completed consecutively, meaning if you start at 7:24pm in Denver, you must keep going until you arrive at 12:24pm in Austin. Mom &…
Travelin’ and Trekkin’
Picked up mama at the Denver airport and am headed out on our 15+ hour road trip … the drive from Aspen to Denver was beautiful, but the drive from Denver to Austin looks to be shaping up to be mainly a nighttime drive. We’ll see how mom and I fare. Look for updates when…
SXSWXSWSXSXSWXSW
See, with all the buzz, I don’t even need to put the letters in the right order and you know what I’m talking about. Obviously you’ve seen my ridiculously large and always growing FREE PARTY SPREADSHEET. But because the criteria are so strict to get on that puppy (free party, must offer free food and/or…
How to Buy a Man’s Suit
I don’t post so much on men’s fashion because it’s sort of boring. And the Vermonster is frankly uninterested. My brother still wears his Ghanaan caftan thing on stage when he performs. My dad tries, but loves puffy vests more than stylin’ suits. So when I found a fantastic guide to buying a super-hot men’s…
Filthy Fifty
I’ve only attempted the Filthy Fifty one other time, and didn’t finish before our 30-minute cutoff. Today, after FIVE hours of skiing (on the blues, of course, Lisa!) I said to That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM): “If it’s a long metcon, I’m not doing it,” … because I’m going to drive the 25 minutes to…
