I LOVE TODAY. I LOVE TODAY!!! I started contemplating getting a basketball hoop for the backyard a couple of days ago as I was thinking about how I spent my days in high school (the last time I had this few responsibilities lol). I researched putting it up on the roof, thinking a portable was…
Two things I love: wine and basketball, making this a must-read: Secret Team Dinners Built the Spurs Dynasty. (added bonus: now I have a list of restos to check out in San Antonio!)

From about eighth grade on, my life revolved around basketball—pickup, practice, drills, rec league, school teams, AAU, open gyms, the sport court we built just for me on the side of our house. My high school and early college experiences centered around basketball, and I loved it. I love sports, teams, camraderie, physicality, training, playing,…

I made it through 16 years of competitive basketball with just one ankle sprain–quite the feat for a female basketball player. And then. Last night I was playing some more basketball, and I jumped up and came down on the foot of the guy I was defending. My ankle rolled out and then in, I…
Before I tell this story, perhaps I should explain about Bleeker Street Gym. As I’ve mentioned on lifeinaspen.com, Bleeker is the meathead gym. It’s smallish, equipment everywhere, rubber floors, tons of dumbbells, a weight rack and a squat rack, 4 KBs, 1 jump rope, and a freestanding pull-up bar (no kipping here). I spend most of…
