Eeeeep! BUT being superstitious can help you–if it’s a positive superstition. So tote your lucky charms around today, kids! Also coming out today: Eat Pray Love. I did not love the book. But I love Julia Roberts. Should I see it? The Frisky’s handy-dandy flow chart helps me decide: And when I go, I should…

Aspen: WOLFMOTHER
So it’s late notice, but WOLFMOTHER is playing at Belly Up tonight. Doors at 9p, show at 10. Tix are $50. Word on the street is that Wolfmother puts on one of the best live shows around, so the expense is probably worth it. Belly Up is a crazy-intimate venue, so seeing a show that’s…
Beer
Because I haven’t met an athlete yet who doesn’t like a good beer with their game or sports-watching. And, Boozy Beauty Benefits of Beer

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. I’m getting decent, like where people might actually pass me the ball and not expect an immediate turnover. Nali, however, thinks I’m fantastic.

Sometimes the most random things inspire me: 21-15-9

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…
It’s HOT! My legs AND the temp
You know you’ve been away from Austin, Texas for far too long already when an 82-degree day feels sweltering. I need to get back to my hometown for a good dose of triple-digit reality. In the meantime, here’s the WOD I’d call the Hot Legs and Abs WOD, because everything in it engages leg and…
A blister on the bottom of my foot: hiking in Vibrams
3,000 vertical feet, around 3 miles, 1 hour and 45 minutes This is Aspen Mountain, and me hiking that really steep trail you can see. Also rocky. No one told me that the first 2/3 of the hike was basically like a stairmaster: straight vertical, on a road, no interesting scenery. Luckily, the hike got…
