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…
Review: Reebok EasyTone Freestyle Hi Shoes
I could have sworn I posted this review here, but a google revealed nothing, so maybe I just tweeted about it. These are obviously a hot topic in the CrossFit community because Reebok is sponsoring our awesome hardcore CrossFit Games while simultaneously promoting toning shoes … I don’t think it’s an oxy-moron, I think it’s…
Around the Fitness Horn: Vanessa Hudgens CrossFits!

On Not Drinking
I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…
I <3 Red Black Gym
Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of…
