BB’s Kitchen is Aspen’s newest top-floor establishment, and what a rooftop it is! It’s more like a complex: BB’s restaurant at the top of the stairs on Cooper Street, the BB’s lounge to your left, and a huge deck for sunning–when it isn’t snowing (it’s not open yet). The Vermonster and I were lucky enough…

Around the Fitness Horn: FOOD
My interest in food and diet waxes and wanes, some days I’m all about paleo, others I’m more about moderation. I’m working on an article about cleansing, and discovering some interesting things. Will post it when it’s written. In the meantime, check out these: The Road to Digestive Health Continues (More things that might be…
I Want This Whole Outfit
(and a place to wear it) I don’t know what I love more: skinny trousers, houndstooth coat, or maroon matching underlayers. From Celine, featured in Fashionista’s Best of Pre-Fall
Aspen: Yogroove at King Yoga
Because it’s not AWESOME ENOUGH, my favorite place ever for yoga (Gretchen [Bleiler] and Lance [Armstrong] are fans too), King Yoga in Aspen, is hosting a Yogroove this Thursday night.

CrossFitters everywhere … including MooJesus!
I can’t remember if I’ve spoken on xlyssa before about MooJesus! … I know I have written about it here and here and here on thisislifeinaustin. Anyway, MooJesus! is the raw milk dairy we go to in Seguin, Texas, about an hour-ish away from Austin. It’s a little slice of heaven, and the next time…
Aspen: Gay Ski Week
That is not a joke. I kind of thought it was. Not because gayness is a joke, but because most people don’t host “gay” weeks. But here’s the official site: gayskiweek.com. I’m telling you, Aspen and Austin could not be more alike. People here LOVE gay ski week. It kicked off yesterday (1/16) and runs through…
Breakthroughs
People in the CrossFit community talk a lot about breaking through certain fears. Being upside down, lifting heavy weight, whatever. I have never been scared of those things. I can’t do a handstand pushup, but it’s not fear, it’s strength (lack thereof). So I don’t get those “breakthroughs.” But in skiing I face a lot…
