Aspen: First SNOW of Winter 2010

Intermittent Fasting or (gasp!) Not Eating Breakfast
Like many CrossFitters, I intermittent fast fairly frequently. Most mornings, I fast. Call it intermittent fasting, the 8-hour diet, whatever. For me, it’s what feels natural. Stop eating at 9pm the night before, fast until 1pm the following day (these hours aren’t set in stone). I’ve never liked breakfast foods, so I don’t miss that, and…

Aspen: Politickin’
For being such a lil town, Aspen sure is big into politics. And I don’t just mean the who-has-the-best-seats-at-the-Wheeler kind. The coolest thing, despite how you feel about any given candidate, is that Aspen’s political activism is not limited to the over-30, house-owning, property-tax paying set; the youngsters of Aspen are just as involved as…
Yoga and More Nature’s Garage Gem
Still at the yoga, still loving it.
