I talked about how excited I was when the Aspen Club got bumper plates. Each plate is a different color for its weight, and I love them. Yesterday, I got a chance to love them for a different reason: humor! A man who was previously using the leg press came up to me as I [...]

Better-lookin’ jorts
I have a pair of jorts that I’ve had for quite some time. Since my eBay buying phase, when I ordered a pair of Hollisters that were too short for these long legs. Probably early college, let’s call it. They have fit me more or less the same way since then, as my shape may [...]

Wendler 531
I’m doing it! Just finished week 1. Pretty excited about it. Still yoga-ing a lot too. I think they work well together. Hit it hard, stretch it hard? Also funny: how this article: i-heart-powerlifting-and-im-not-bulky-or-masculine went totally viral in a day. CrossFitting women all love powerlifting. I love powerlifting too. What was it about this particular article or [...]

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 [...]
A new gym gem
They just keep coming! Today, doing a CrossFit Football workout (5 rounds: 155# max reps back squat / 7 burpee box jumps 20″) at the ritzy gym in Aspen (which is quite the distinction), a trainer at the gym was watching me while training and talking to his client. He has seen me in here [...]
Around the Fitness Horn: Dang it’s been awhile
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a roundup, but some dang good stuff came out in the past few days. Check it: The always-awesome Sage Burgener takes on CrossFit psychology. Love love love. I’m lucky enough to live in Nature’s Garage Gym, so I get to be outside, playing, and mastering bodyweight exercises, all the [...]
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!
Lots of Travelin’
I fully intended to write a full post on the Chicago airport gym, but now it swirls around in my head with the other travelin’ gyms and workouts I did, so it will just be one of a list: Chicago: Hilton hotel gym at the airport (you DO have to leave security). Has an Olympic [...]

“You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!”
I just can’t make these things up. Another hilariously awesome comment from another Bleeker Street Gym athlete (these are almost as good as the BMQOTDs used to be … I miss you Big Mike … and my witness Alex): “You swing that rope so fast it could cut cheese!” Is she secretly noting that I am cutting [...]
