As CrossFit blows up and takes Austin–and me–by storm, I thought I’d sit down with the fellas that got me hooked and let them talk about the sport they’ve built their life around. I say life because roommates Wes Kimball and Boone Putney share a lot—they met through a shared best friend, were co-Best-Man in…

Freakin’ Full Weekend
First and foremost, the weekend has already been entirely usurped by the joy that is the Texas Hill Country Wine + Food Festival. I heard Thursday night’s Culinary Masters dinner was exquisite, and tonight’s Stars Across Texas Grand Tasting promises to be the glitziest of the events, held at the Long Center. Among Saturday’s full…

A few thoughts on Valentine’s Day
I love Valentine’s Day. I’m the girl who makes something for all her friends to show them how much she loves them and because she doesn’t want them to feel left out on such a lovey holiday (also, usually single). But I like that more than the stereotypical romantical Valentine’s Day–could have to do with…
Weekend Workout – Free CrossFit
You know how much I love me some free Crossfit, and while the boys at my fave CrossFit Austin have a sweet free Valentine’s Day workout planned (more on that later), I’ve got to tell you about CrossFit Central’s Under-The-Bridge workout. It’s way too early on Saturday morning, from 8:30-9:30am, but it’s an awesome introduction…
Weekend Watch: free yoga, crazy marathoners, and grand openings
