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…
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.

Austin: You Know We’ve Made It When We Get a Blowdry Bar
Blo, North America’s Original Blow Dry Bar, is coming to Austin. That’s right, we’re now trendy and ritzy enough (we DO have a W, people) to have a salon dedicated to the blowout. I remember at 15 asking my mom’s stylist what a “blowout” was (because I read it in all the magazines, natch) and she…
What did I eat my first day off of the HCG diet?
Well let me tell you: 1 cup hot cocoa made with heavy cream, cacao, and sugar, with a splash of coconut rum and frangelico. Splurge! Pad Thai from Sundeck … I ordered it just with veggies and shrimp (no noodles) but the peanut sauce and its inevitable accompanying sugar are a splurge. 1 bloody mary…
