MORE MORE MORE Deal Sites!
Can you even keep up? Over the holidays, my mom turned me on to two more sites–MorgansDeals and TheLunchDeal.com, plus I just heard about CrowdSavings.com. I’m going to totally nerd out on you (again) about these flash-sale sites. The things is, they’re awesome. Yes. But they’re a really, really interesting product of our unique place…
Austin: Creativity Classes at CreateMore.org
CrossFit has brought me into contact with some pretty interesting, awesome people. Mel Joulwan is one of those people, and her delightful husband Dave–who, I must confess, I barely know personally but feel like I know from Mel’s blog and his constant support of her at CrossFit and other competitive eventes–is starting a class to…
Staring Up the Stairs
Man I miss training in a group.The workout I made up for myself today would have been a really fun one if I had been with my training partners. Instead, it was me and Nali, and although she’s close to human, it’s just not the same. I was even wearing my CC shirt … sigh.…
Group Motivation: Me in the Gym
Today’s .com workout: Most of the comments went something like this: “wow that’s gonna suck” I, on the other hand, was excited. I love the olympic lifts and I need to work on rowing–a perfect combo of loves and not. I did decide before the workout even began that I’d scale to 3 Rounds. Breathing…

Sunday at Noon. This flyer says it best: I think a church is sponsoring it, but regardless of religious affiliation, it should be an engaging and interesting talk. Especially for anyone complete unmotivated by the SXSW hype!
A Mama Fu’s Surprise
I have to preface talking about my experience at Mama Fu’s last night by letting you in on my bias: the other day, my parents and I drove by a Mama Fu’s and my parents started talking about how they had just gone last week and loved it. I looked at them puzzled and said,…
Friday Night Benefit at Tiniest Bar
Starting at 7pm Friday night, Team Spiridon, a local training group, is hosting a benefit concert at Tiniest Bar for empancipet and the Dick Beardsley Foundation–couldn’t decide between animals and people, I guess? Lovers of music, animals, and running will come together for a night inexplicably called Night of the Moustache, featuring a benefit concert…
Doubling up the Crossfit Fun
I did 6:30pm last night and 6:30am this morning of the free Crossfit Austin workouts … super fun! Remember that this is FREE Crossfit workouts put on by two of my friends, Austin natives, until they open their NEW South Austin Crossfit gym in mid-to-late November. Yay building delays=free workouts! So last night’s workout was…
First Impression: Free Crossfit Workout
So I hit up the free Crossfit workout Wednesday night, and it was a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to go back since, and I want to, because I think there’s got to be more to it than I experienced. I had fun, but here’s the breakdown: Wednesday was a team session. After…
