Sprints are back!
The sun is finally shining again in Aspen and I could NOT wait to get out onto the field for some sprints!! Nali and I ran 10 x 40M sprints and LOVED it. Both of us 🙂 Sprinting is awesome for you. Your body and mind. Then I hit the gym for some squat work…
Row, row, row your boat
I often scour CrossFit box websites to find good workouts, but rarely do I read about a workout another gym did and think to myself, oooh, I’ve gotta tackle that one. It’s usually tough workouts I wouldn’t program for myself, or creative combos I hadn’t thought of. Basically, I’m not emailing myself 21-15-9 workouts. Programming for…
Dance in the Rain
I’ve alluded to my personal challenges and stress of late. Similar to making lemonade of lemons, I’m dancing in the rain while I figure out where the hell my umbrella is … or where I’m seeking shelter. From garage door at the Aspen CrossFit gym.
Town 2 Town Throwdown
When I first visited Aspen over a year ago (in February), there was Roaring Fork CrossFit. Now, there’s Roaring Fork, Aspen, Bonedale, Glenwood Springs, and New Castle—OH, and my new BlissFits Boot Camp. The valley has exploded with CrossFit! The gyms all get together once a month to host a competition with 2 WODs. This…

I am Awesome. And Extreme.
Yes, these glasses are my mom’s mirrored aviators from her skiing days. In the ’70s. In Aspen, there are four mountains to ski. One of them, Aspen Highlands, is the locals mountain. It has a place called Highlands Bowl. You have to hike 1,000+ vertical feet to get to it. In ski boots. With your…
Aspen: Spring Celebrations Announcing BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp!
As spring rolls around, there are lots of announcements: babies, graduation announcements, save-the-date cards, and so on. Since I have no news of that sort, I’m excited to celebrate a more Lyssa-like announcement: BlissFits Aspen Boot Camp! You guys know how much I love CrossFit, and sharing the word about fitness and how awesome it is. I’ve…
Skiing Double Blacks, Yo
We haven’t talked skiing in awhile, though some of you may have seen my tweet the other day that I skiied my first DOUBLE BLACK run. That’s right, kids, I SKIIED A DOUBLE BLACK. At the beginning of the season, I had a come-to-Jesus-or-whoever-the-ski-god is talk with myself where I finally made peace with the…
Aspen & Austin: New Deal Site MooLaLa
Yeah, they’re a dime a dozen these days. But MooLaLa has two major things going for it: 1) MooLaLa has a High Rockies, CO section. I’m guessing most of these deals will be online. But it IS exciting that Aspenites could potentially see some deals! 2) MooLaLa is a pyramid scheme. And by scheme I…
