What is Mental Toughness? That Burgener family has got it going on, they are some smart cookies. The letter Sage posted from her brother really made me think: am I committed to things that I want to be committed to? My fave line from the whole thing: they decided it was what they wanted, and…

Pepperita & Sweet, Sweet Texas Tea
When a bottle of this arrives on your doorstep, you thank the blogging gods: Treaty Oak Rum When you bring a bottle of this back to Aspen to enjoy a little taste of Texas, you get nostalgic for 100-degree days.

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…

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…

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…
