Everyone knows lulu is de rigeur for CrossFitters. But the company actually started for yogis, so it’s MORE apropos that they host Salutation Nation, this Saturday from 9-10am. Like the Nike Human Race with less competing and matching tees, thousands of people across North America will take their asana practice outside for a complimentary class…
Primal-ish Scones
How awesome does this look? A cup of coffee and a scone. Almost Paleo, almost Primal, definitely delish! I adapted the recipe so far away from its original that I will reprint it here. It is based on the recipe in Elana’s Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook … You Need: 1/4 cup grassfed butter, melted…
Aspen: Soccer Spectating
I’ve been playing a lot of soccer out in Aspen, apparently it’s all anyone does in the summer. And I’m actually getting kind of good! That might be an overstatement.

Sometimes the most random things inspire me: 21-15-9
I read some post today talking about how much the author loves 21-15-9 groupings. So I wanted to go for a run, but still CrossFit, and my legs are still sore from those damn pistols despite the fact that I played games of both basketball and soccer yesterday which should have worked out some of…
Austin: New Sunday Brunch at J. Black’s
It’s been awhile since I’ve ventured away from Moonshine or The Carillon for Sunday Brunch, something I take seriously. Those two perennial all-stars are just too good! But I got word today that there’s a new contender: J. Black’s. Before you write it off as the place you don’t want to revisit from the night…
Aspen: Gym Breakdown
Even though I love CrossFitting in Nature’s Garage Gym and doing HIIT sprints at the dog park , there are times when I want nothing more than to pick up some heavy weights or swing some kettlebells. Potentially around some sweaty, grunting men. While I was in Aspen over the winter, I worked out at…
