Feel Good [Black] Friday | Opt Outside

OptOutside this Black Friday … <–and create a cool social media graphic to let everyone know. Or maybe you want to shop. I don’t blame you, except the crowds. IF you’re going to shop, these are my current fave brands/retailers … yes, I’m a little outdoor adventure biased this year. And they’re mostly online brands,…

Improvise

I walked to three parks in Aspen today looking for a good “fireman’s pole” on a playground to use as my rope for the rope climbs in today’s .com workout. Alas, I was stymied at every single one, so it was down to the bridge and I was resigned to sub something for rope climbs…

Around the Fitness Horn: Three Things I’m Doing

Aspen: Thursdays in Snowmass

After Food & Wine, I’d say the next most-talked-about thing by people who have lived or visited Aspen in the summer is “those free outdoor concerts … on the mountain … in Snowmass …” they usually say, as if recalling the good times first and barely letting me break into their reverie for the details…

Ultimate Frisbee

My brother says that I need to post on more topics, like ultimate frisbee. While his point is that he’d like to see a wider range of coverage, I’m not sure that’s what this is about. Since I’m not an ultimate frisbee afficionado, I don’t KNOW about ultimate frisbee in Austin. I’d happily play, but…

Twin Falls

I mentioned that everyone should hit the lake/creek/pool this weekend, but I didn’t tell you about my fave spot. Now that it’s the week, I’ll let you in on my secret (it’s not all that secret, but we can pretend): There’s a magical place in Austin. It’s Twin Falls. It’s right off Mopac and 360,…
