I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big. The highlight: Sunday night’s Nike Human Race. 6:30pm, a million people across the world will be running a 10K. In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area.…

Training Run + Daily Mile
I’m sure you’re curious about things to do tonight, Tuesday. But Tuesdays are not for events. Except the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s, which is an awesome event. Free tacos and drinks and friends and running routes, what more could you ask for?! Well, perhaps an online community of runners? Daily Mile is…
Art Attack! party, Hot Sauce Fest, Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s Saturday
I twittered about signing up for Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s this Saturday morning, and I’m so excited for it. They randomly put you with three other players to play a tournament–sounds so fun! If I wasn’t playing volleyball, though, I’d be art attacking, because I found out this morning that I can hot sauce on…
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…
Bikram Yoga Champions to Austin!
Yoga Competitions may sound a little oxymoronic, but once you’ve seen the things the champs can do with their bodies, rational thoughts leave your head anyway. Luckily for Austinites, the 2008 International Yoga Champions are coming to Bikram Yoga Davenport to teach this weekend! Starting tonight and heading on into Monday, Ball Rattanapong and Alisa…
Report: Nike Human Race Training Run
So last night I finally made it to Guero’s for the Nike Human Race training run! It was packed in the Guero’s annex, and the line was long to register. They say the run starts at 7:00, but we didn’t get going til 7:15 or so. I should preface the story I’m about to tell…
Tuesdays? + a full Wednesday
Last Tuesday, I ran into a friend and frequent reader of this blog at Bikram Yoga Davenport (love it!) and she asked what was going on that night. “A Tuesday night? I don’t know, I’m at yoga!” Aside from Bikram Yoga classes and the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s (can’t wait to check that…

Biking in the Car Lane!
Today is monumental. Today I biked in the car lane. I took my mom’s loaner hybrid (a red Gary Fisher Nirvana, for bike nerds) to the Gold’s Gym on 6th & Congress, about a 2-mile trek from my house that involves biking down either 5th or 6th Street. Last time I chose 6th Street, but…
Lululemon Yoga Potluck
So yoga-clothing store Lululemon is having an event celebrating healthy living and eating! It’s a healthy potluck, with snacks brought in from Castle Hill Fitness Cafe (delish but expensive, though they’re free here) and hopefully some dishes by yoga-loving Austinites! Stop by anytime between 2 & 5 pm. You can also go to lululemon (3700…
