Runnin’
Last night, Alex and I went for a run around Town Lake. It was an easy 4 miles, untimed. We wanted to hang out, and rather than get froyo or a drink, we decided to do it the healthy way (ok, so we didn’t actually talk and make this decision, it was more along the…
Blondes vs. Brunettes!
It’s one of my favorite times of year: the Blondes vs. Brunettes Powderpuff Football Game benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association. This year’s game will be June 5 at House Park, and the Blondes are going down again. Pictures sometimes speak better than words: Most. Epic. Game. Ever. Last year, the Brunettes were down 13-0 at halftime…

Badassery

Makeup and working out: yay or nay?
I’ve been skiing instead of blogging about how much my shoulder hurts, hooray! Which shouldn’t be confused with my shoulder not hurting, because it still does, but I’ve been icing and ibuprofening, and the skiing was really good for me in that it got the shoulder moving in a different manner than usual. I’m taking…
1/2 yoga and a day off
This ties in with the post I did a few days ago about rest and smart training. For instance, when you go to your physical therapist and he presses on some ligaments that makes your arm burn all the way from elbow to shoulder, you maybe shouldn’t go to Bikram yoga immediately after and think…
Nuts and Anti-Nuts
We’re all nuts! What is CrossFit & Why Would I do it? … eh, you don’t need to read the article, the answer is because we’re all nuts! Feasting on Fitness’s Starter Series 3. Eat Fat … explains why a lot of us have suddenly decided we have low-grade nut allergies. Untrue. We just aren’t…
Let’s Make Up Some Stuff For You to Do
This is Mike’s new M.O. with my training: just combine some stuff and see what happens. Gimpy WOD: 5 x 5 16kg kettlebell step-ups WTF, right? First round was on 24″ box, then moved to 20″ box so that I could fully extend my single leg before bringing the other up. Who knew there was…
