If progress motivates … I am at full motivation. About 2.5 months ago, I started working out at a “regular gym” (ie, not a CrossFit gym), following Power Athlete’s CrossFit Football Amateur programming pretty closely (my roommate is CFFB/Power Athlete staff and amazing at life/lifting, so this is helpful). The main reasons: I want to…
Hey, you know what I’m grateful for? Abs. Abs are a THING for me—this long-standing goal, this pursuit of perfection, this symbol of a better life. It came to a frenetic finale as my quest for abs went public, with Cali and I proclaiming that we’d have abzzzzz for Puerto Rico. We procrastinated on the…
On my recent travels, Cait made me go on a 4-mile run and a 6.7-mile run. This, for a girl (me) who hasn’t run longer than sprints since she ran a half marathon from Aspen to Basalt in Summer 2010. Erm, without training. To be clear, I love running in new places and seeing new…

In case your post-Cinco-de-Mayo Friday features as little motivation to work out as mine:
1. That I went running last night around Town Lake, literally ran into a friend, walked a ways with him, and still finished 3 miles in under 24 minutes. In Converse (hello blisters). I love that Austin is a huge town, but so small. 2. Function > Looks with this list: 16 strict pull-ups > 16…
I am proud to say that a) I did not die in my first CrossFit workout back in the Texas heat in the middle of the day in an un-air-conditioned garage. 101 degrees, “feels like 106,” says weather.com. b) our “dynamic warmup” was laying down the horse mats that become the gym floor. This is…
I downloaded a TACFIT workout and watched a video of the Israeli Special Forces trainer Coach Scott Sonnon. They say: Learn Previously Non-Disclosed Methods that Navy SEALS, Marines and Real-Life Secret Agents Are Using Right Now to Chisel Rock Hard Bodies and Maintain Mission Readiness — Anytime, Anywhere, With Absolutely No Equipment The entire TACFIT…
I hit up SicFit Austin today, only the best garage gym in Austin!! It was so unbelievably fun. It’s what CrossFit is supposed to be–weights, random objects, and you. It’s why I think I can get away with working out outside on the playground or by the river, because it all seems so simple. And…
What is Seen Magazine? Basically society pages online? Well, it’s likely to be a Scene? Seen? Scene-Seen? Seen-Scene? at The Ranch Thursday night … not that it’s not always a Seen-Scene at The Ranch…
