Are You a Sports Freak?
Warren Moon played for the Oilers from the year I was born until 1993. The Cowboys won a Super Bowl in 1993 and 1995. I had a lot to cheer for as a little girl growing up in Texas, watching Monday Night Football with my family gathered around the TV while we eat dinner. Times…

Sports Psych Update
I withdrew from the Fittest Games. My back/SI joint stopped hurting. I did all the right things (treatment, standing, icing, yoga), but I also worked through the conflict. Naysayers can say it was physical, believers can say it was mental. It was probably a combination of both. Like most things. There is no black and…
Stealin’ Workouts
Lately I’ve been stealing CrossFit Austin workouts … it’s not exactly stealing, but you know what I mean. Anyway, last night I performed this one, in MY gym crowded by high school boys (apparently their gym is shut down for winter break) who were stealing the squat rack to perform squats far too heavy for…

Just have to get the photos uploaded … Until then, enjoy these links: The No-Goal Goal (I may like this just because I’ve never been a goal-setter) Sex and Sports: Before or After? Yum Yum Pecan Brittle (you know I’d use palm sugar …) For workouts? I’ve been skiing my…
Ankle update
It is still sad. I need someone in Aspen to fix it! Where’s my Austin Sports Therapy Dr. Kyler in this ski town? I need ART, myofascial release, sports massage … somethin’!
Masculine v Feminine
My totally badass new-to-me Land Rover Discovery II Kalahari Edition. The guy who sold it to me warned me about 7,000 times (k, probably just 15) that it was a “masculine” car. It’s very “manly,” he said in a concerned tone, thinking of the attention his son got in it and probably also the sic…
Aspen: Soccer Spectating
I’ve been playing a lot of soccer out in Aspen, apparently it’s all anyone does in the summer. And I’m actually getting kind of good! That might be an overstatement. I’m getting decent, like where people might actually pass me the ball and not expect an immediate turnover. Nali, however, thinks I’m fantastic.
