In one of the best marketing ideas I’ve heard in a long time, join Austin-based watch-maker TIKKR for a West Sixth bar crawl where the drinks are free IF you’re sporting the right wristband–a TIKKR watch, natch. Genius? Genius. Thursday night, the party starts at 8pm at Dirty Bill’s (511 Rio Grande), then proceeds to…
Fructose?! Maltodextrin?!
Suppdate: what the hell?! The Cleanse I committed to includes Fiber Drink, Cleanse Supps, Probiotics, and Omegaplex, followed by MNS-3, all by Advocare. I’m ready to take my Fiber Drink yesterday morning to start off The Cleanse. This is what it says on the website: Fiber Drink / #W4062 / Price: $17.50 Available in Citrus…
Aspen: Cathedral Lake Hike
It’s an “easy” day hike, starting near Ashcroft and only about 2.8 miles to Cathedral Lake. You climb almost 2,000 vertical feet, though, so it’s not for flatlanders or those unadjusted to altitude. I haven’t had a hard time adjusting to much about the altitude, but this hike kicked my ass! It’s a National Forest,…
Around the CrossFit Horn
A selection of my fave CrossFit and happy food posts from around the interwebs: Should there be weight classes for CrossFit? Pint-sized powerhouse Jen Cardella weighs in here. “Stop trying to Rx, you look like a pooping dog” (my translation) from Boone Putney at CrossFit Austin. Mail-order Grass-Fed Beef from Wall Street Journal (wonder how…
Take Back Your Lunch
There’s a new movement starting this Wednesday across the country called “Take Back Your Lunch.” All you have to do is dine with friend in a park or public place to get away from your computer for an hour. Why? Take Back Your Lunch is a part of The Energy Project for Tony Schwartz’s new…
I’m giving it all up …
No need to CrossFit, run, bike, play soccer … just go hike up a mountain 2,000 feet (reaching almost 12,000) with an overnight camping pack on your back. Because that’s what I did yesterday and it KICKED MY ASS. According to this article, the White River National Forest Aspen Ranger District says the route is…
Tabata My Arms Off
… or, My Legs Are Too Sore and Bruised To Work Out Any More After a bike ride to and from town, which I will probably repeat tonight as I head in for a cookout and live music show, I hit the dog park and its bright green grass for an arm-heavy tabata workout. After…
Aspen: Chocolate Chip Cookie Contest & Edward Sharpe at Belly Up
You have got to be kidding me. In the midst of one of the greatest gourmet food and wine festivals in the country, there’s a chocolate chip cookie contest?! There’s no way I can go to this … I will eat all of the cookies and be unable to gorge myself further with fabulous food…
Austin: Weekend Hops & Pops
Saturday: Hops From 2-5 pm, taste your favorite (512) Ales plus the newly re-released Belgian Style Strong Ale (512) ONE.2 . Get three free tastes. Buy a pint glass for $5 and your new glass becomes the tasting glass (bigger tastes). I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pecan Porter (pictured) but I’m pretty sure it’s a winter…
“Awkward Capri”
I often find funny keywords that led people to this site in my google analytics, but rarely does one of those end up in my “Top Searches” section! Enter “awkward capri.” … Now, I know for certain that I don’t WEAR awkward capris. Hell, I barely even wear capris, unless it’s for yoga and/or they’re…
