Gimpy WODs still suck. Today was my only two-a-day of this week (I think) and it was fine, I wasn’t tired or anything, but I’m TIRED of exclusively working my legs. Is this even good for me? Should I be yoga-ing instead? I can’t put my arm overhead with yoga either … Anyway, our warmup…

South Austin Sushi: Yanagi
GREAT GREAT sushi. Terrible service. It’s a shame. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about service in Austin restaurants, but I don’t usually share their sentiments. However, Yanagi’s service was bad, and worse than that, when confronted about it, they acted clueless as to what went wrong. (Clue: ordered appetizer sea bass at the…

Grass-Fed Meat

When I started CrossFit about a year ago, the big thing was the Zone Diet. Well, there’s no way in hell I’m measuring and…
