Apparently there are a lot of people out there googling, “how do I do a pullup if I am not strong enough?” They get sent to my blog because of my many posts about how I’m “not strong enough.” True story, somewhat. I mean, I’m strong enough to carry a giant tub of dishes from…

15 – 10 – 5 in the SNOW
I cannot get over the fact that it is SNOWING here in Aspen. It’s May 12! The mountains are closed! What is the snow doing here?! Though tempted to use the cold and my inherent desire to be warm as an excuse not to go workout, the thought of seeing my river (yes, it’s mine…
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…
CrossFit ABC123: Nature’s Garage Gym
As in, it’s as easy as the alphabet and numbers to CrossFit in Aspen even sans a gym! Ha, nerd. Also in that I live at this place in Aspen called ABC (Airport Business Center), which is actually 3 miles outside of downtown Aspen but is virtual heaven for dogs. And now for CrossFitters. This…

Yikes! The website says,…
Star Jumps
Whew, we made it from Austin to Aspen in right around 19 hours, including stops. Nali was drugged, so she was drowsy and didn’t pant the whole way. She did act sort of drunk when we got her out of the car, it was really funny. Awesome! That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) and I stopped…

Off Week!
CrossFit Central is on an off week (is that a weird way to word a sentence or what?), and since I’m trying to pack and get ready for hitting the OTHER A-town, I’m more or less off too. Yesterday, I met my running buddy for a jog around Town Lake and then played some coed…
Minute by Minute
Relentless Boot Camp yesterday, ZT’s last, was a killer! We did the usual warmup, then instead of hearing a workout we went straight into a minute of whatever exercise ZT called out: jumping squats, plank, lunges, plank, situps, plank, 2 laps, sprawls, plank, squats, leg hold, lunges, pushups, leg hold, crunches, 3 stairs, 2 laps,…
