This will be my first year NOT playing, but I’m confident the brunettes can still dominate! This event is AWESOME to watch and be a part of, so DO IT! (it’s in just 2 weeks, get your tix now!!)

Sprints are back!
The sun is finally shining again in Aspen and I could NOT wait to get out onto the field for some sprints!! Nali and I ran 10 x 40M sprints and LOVED it. Both of us 🙂 Sprinting is awesome for you. Your body and mind. Then I hit the gym for some squat work…
Austin: Two More Brunch Options: Zed’s & TRACE
Zed’s, the new North Austin dining destination serving modern, casual Austin-American fare, recently introduced an expansive Sunday brunch buffet (which, as you know, is what I think ALL brunches should be). Zed’s brunch is served from 11am to 3pm every Sunday. The kid-friendly menu includes made-to-order omelets, a meat-carving station, waffles with assorted fruit toppings, and…
Blake Lively Goes Red! I almost freak out.
There is no female celebrity I love more than Blake Lively. I loved her in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I love her in Gossip Girl (my love for GG is well-documented on this blog), I love that Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld both love her. I love her blonde hair, her fashion sense, and…
T-spiration: Work Harder. Right Here. Right Now.
I LOVE these designs. Inspirational messages printed backward so you can read them in the mirror. From I Am Athletics. My only gripe? This is my fave, why’s it only on a men’s tee?? … I guess I can order it and wear anyway, so it’s kinda unisex. But still. I need a serious budget…
Row, row, row your boat
I often scour CrossFit box websites to find good workouts, but rarely do I read about a workout another gym did and think to myself, oooh, I’ve gotta tackle that one. It’s usually tough workouts I wouldn’t program for myself, or creative combos I hadn’t thought of. Basically, I’m not emailing myself 21-15-9 workouts. Programming for…
Remember when they said Real World Austin was too drunk?
Yeah, remember that they cut the Real World Austin season short because all the housemates did was get drunk on 6th street, hook up, and start fights? Does that bear any resemblance to any show you can think of on MTV right now? Perhaps one that’s spawned pop “legends,” who do such noble things as…
Dance in the Rain
I’ve alluded to my personal challenges and stress of late. Similar to making lemonade of lemons, I’m dancing in the rain while I figure out where the hell my umbrella is … or where I’m seeking shelter. From garage door at the Aspen CrossFit gym.
Town 2 Town Throwdown
When I first visited Aspen over a year ago (in February), there was Roaring Fork CrossFit. Now, there’s Roaring Fork, Aspen, Bonedale, Glenwood Springs, and New Castle—OH, and my new BlissFits Boot Camp. The valley has exploded with CrossFit! The gyms all get together once a month to host a competition with 2 WODs. This…
Austin: Sophomore Fashion Show
My sophomore year in college, I might have been considered a bit of an overachiever. But the email I got recently might top even myself: It was from a sophomore at Texas State who is hosting a fashion show. For her line. That she sells on her website BeAllos.com. And the show benefits Love Is Respect!, a foundation…
