Aspen: Mountain Naturals $6.50 Burger

Burgers aren’t hard to find in Aspen (LOVE Belly Up’s double and sweet potato fries!!) But burgers under $10? Rare. So when Mountain Naturals, the crunchy store in the ABC, announced lunch specials like a $6.50 burger, I had to check it out. Served on an english muffin with as many toppings as you’d like,…

The New Nature’s Garage Gym/Gem

We recently moved from ABC, home of Nature’s Garage Gym CrossFit ABC123 to downtown Aspen. I was afraid there’d be no more rock-hoisting, river-hopping, boulder-jumping workouts, but I need not have worried. This IS Aspen, after all. Yesterday, I ran gassers on the rugby field across the street from our new apartment. Particularly interesting as…

It’s HOT! My legs AND the temp

You know you’ve been away from Austin, Texas for far too long already when an 82-degree day feels sweltering. I need to get back to my hometown for a good dose of triple-digit reality. In the meantime, here’s the WOD I’d call the Hot Legs and Abs WOD, because everything in it engages leg and…

Staring Up the Stairs

Man I miss training in a group.The workout I made up for myself today would have been a really fun one if I had been with my training partners. Instead, it was me and Nali, and although she’s close to human, it’s just not the same. I was even wearing my CC shirt … sigh.…

Nature’s Garage Gym Playground

I’ve been Yoga-ing the past two days (at King Yoga and then with Dana from 02, which is currently closed), and really enjoyed it. It’s killer on your shoulders, and my right shoulder is in just enough pain that it MIGHT mean that the rotator cuff isn’t fully healed 🙁 I’ve discovered another fun workout…

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 It’s got an outdated website (fix coming soon), a goofy logo, and an…

Rock Burpees

I’ve tried to write this post no less than five times, and each time wordpress has somehow deleted it. It’s not even that great! I recorded myself doing one workout, and couldn’t get the film into iMovie (something about being too big). Frustrated, I thought, at least I can show them the blurry (why is it…

Sprints in Nature’s Garage Gym

Revelation of the day: there are sticks long enough to double as PVC pipes down by the river! So now I am collecting them, and storing them in a corner of the bridge, just in case That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) or my other friends want to come to Nature’s Garage Gym CrossFit ABC123 with…
