Because I haven’t met an athlete yet who doesn’t like a good beer with their game or sports-watching. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peAwDVF-fCE&feature=player_embedded] And, Boozy Beauty Benefits of Beer

SicFit!! Round 2: The Tale of Ripped Hands
I’ve railed against and railed against and railed against ripping your hands just to do pullups. It’s an injury, it’s not worth it, and it puts you out of commission for days. BUT today I ripped. And not just a little. Anywhere I didn’t tape, I ripped. I stopped every time I felt a blister…
Austin: Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt
I swore off FroYo awhile back. Too out of hand, I ruled, too unhealthy when you add in all the mix-ins and candy topping and cookie dough bites. But then they put a new one, Menchie’s, in the Central Market shopping center by my house (4001 North Lamar Blvd. Suite 550) and we just HAD…
Around the Fitness Horn: Sex, Drugs, and CrossFit
In the sexiest edition of Around the Horn yet, I present sex, drugs, booze, and food. What other vices do you need? … Fuck Supplements CrossFit the Gateway Drug Hangover Cures!! What Miss USA Eats (it’s mostly Paleo except some whole wheat items!)
SicFit!!
I am proud to say that a) I did not die in my first CrossFit workout back in the Texas heat in the middle of the day in an un-air-conditioned garage. 101 degrees, “feels like 106,” says weather.com. b) our “dynamic warmup” was laying down the horse mats that become the gym floor. This is…
Austin: Weekend!
How excited are you for Step Up 3D? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/user/StepUpMovie?v=67dBhEZusPI&feature=pyv&ad=5136843591&kw=step%20up%203D] I’m seeing it tonight. After happy hour where I plan on trying some new Thirsty Planet beer. Yep, Austin has a new brewery–Thirsty Planet–that has three beers: a super-hoppy Buckethead IPA (I won’t be trying that), a 50/50 barley/red wheat Yellow Armadillo, and a malty Thirsty…
Salutation Nation
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…

Eversave launched in Austin today, even though they’ve been doing trial deals for a couple of weeks. You get a $5 instant credit when you join. Like Groupon, LivingSocial, aDealio, and Localiter, Eversave offers local daily deals called “Saves” to Austin-area residents. The Saves feature fun things to do in and around the city including…
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…
