Austin: Memorial Day Weekend’s What to Do
FareCompare had me write a Guest Post on what to do for Memorial Day Weekend. Part of it is excerpted below, and I’ve got two more shindigs added to the bottom of the list: Memorial Day weekend in Austin means one thing: the lake. Austin’s hot summers call for long days spent in and on…
Aspen: Lance’s Bike Classic September 26
Like me, the man in the yellow jersey calls both Aspen and Austin home. While Austin may hold his Mellow Johnny’s and Juan Pelota establishments, Aspen is now home to his Wapiyapi Classic, a 25-mile or 50-mile bike race with a $200 fundraising requirement. What’s a Wapiyapi? Wapiyapi is the Lakota Sioux word for “healing”.…
Aspen: King Yoga is Awesome
I’ve tried a lot of yogas–a Bikram devotee in Austin, I’ve dabbled in others as well. Here in Aspen, I’m just starting to try out yoga places, and first on my list was King Yoga in ABC, the Aspen Airport Business Center. It’s got an outdated website (fix coming soon), a goofy logo, and an…
Who loves mud?
Mud + Racing is apparently all the rage these days. Muddy Buddy was this past weekend, and this INSANE Mudder race has been announced. Check it out: The newly announced TOUGH MUDDER is pretty epic. It says on its website that it’s being launched because there is not a race in America that tests toughness,…

Blondes v Brunettes II
It’s probably going to be epic again. See last year’s inaugural Blondes vs. Brunettes recap here. This year, I’m QBing again, actually brunette, and ready to rock. The brunettes really are looking better than ever, and we’re only two practices in! There’s still time to join the team, click on the BvB Austin website for…
Charity CrossFit-Style Partner Workout
An awesome group of CrossFit gals is hosting a sweet workout (it’s a partner WOD so come ready for some high reps!) at the Lamar Middle School track on Sunday, April 18th at 9am to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They’re asking for a $10 donation that will go towards Lindsay Spurck’s…
Badass Lax/L.A.X party + GIVEAWAY!
In the spirit of things combining in Austin that don’t normally mix and inspired by the X Games, LXM PRO is throwing the lacrosse party of the century. Lacrosse is becoming more and more mainstream in Texas, and events like this are only going to up the sports popularity. The all-day action kicks off Saturday,…
