Today, let’s take Compliment or Insult outside of the fabled Aspen Club gym and into a little basement bar we like to call Escobar. It’s where Brooke Mueller got arrested with like five ounces of cocaine “for her friends.” It’s a Tuesday night, and Nappy Roots has sold out Belly Up with $15 tickets. I am [...]
RSS me, fool
Butterfly
When I first moved to Aspen, I sort of stopped doing pullups. It wasn’t convenient to do them at my gym, in workouts, and I hadn’t yet discovered the most amazing pullup bar in all of Colorado. However, thanks to that discovery I am back on the pullup wagon, and made it my goal to [...]
Hot Yoga
Excuse me for not writing much here recently, but lest you were worried, I have been working out. I joined the Arjuna Hot Yoga studio in Aspen for a month of unlimited classes. I’ve already taken 4, and BOY are they tough. The studio does more than just Bikram at 105, they do Vinyasa, Fusion, [...]
It’s tough to leave this …
++= AMRAP 20 mins 7 HSPU (sub decline pushups) & 12 L-Pullup (regular pullup). … but I’m in Austin for the week! YAY!
My Favorite Places
For an advisory position I’m fulfilling this coming week (more about that later!), I had to list my favorite places. As I sat down with both Austin and Aspen categories, I realized that the majority of my fave places are fitness-and-outdoors-related. No surprise, right? In Aspen: Bleeker Street, King Yoga, Rio Grande Trail, Jimmy’s, and [...]
Improvise
I walked to three parks in Aspen today looking for a good “fireman’s pole” on a playground to use as my rope for the rope climbs in today’s .com workout. Alas, I was stymied at every single one, so it was down to the bridge and I was resigned to sub something for rope climbs [...]
Aspen Club Swimming & TRX
You might have seen my tweet last week about .com’s Swim WOD. I did it, and it sucked. I am not a swimmer. I have always considered myself a good swimmer, as in unafraid to drown. But lap-swimming? Not for me. Naturally, once I learn I am bad at something, I must learn to get [...]

Sprints are back!
The sun is finally shining again in Aspen and I could NOT wait to get out onto the field for some sprints!! Nali and I ran 10 x 40M sprints and LOVED it. Both of us Sprinting is awesome for you. Your body and mind. Then I hit the gym for some squat work (back, [...]
Row, row, row your boat
I often scour CrossFit box websites to find good workouts, but rarely do I read about a workout another gym did and think to myself, oooh, I’ve gotta tackle that one. It’s usually tough workouts I wouldn’t program for myself, or creative combos I hadn’t thought of. Basically, I’m not emailing myself 21-15-9 workouts. Programming for [...]
