Weekend Watch: free yoga, crazy marathoners, and grand openings

lululemon on 6th & Lamar does free yoga classes taught by rotating instructors from around the city every Saturday morning, but they’re usually way too early for me. This time, however, they’re honoring the two crazy Canadians who are running a marathon a day to help save the environment, and they’re gonna be there doing [...]

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 and [...]

SkirtChaser!

I try not to write about things in advance, because when I read about cool things too far in advance, I say, “oh, that’s cool, I want to do it” and promptly forget about it. BUT there are some exceptions: when you have to buy a ticket/race entry, or when I’m super-excited about something, or [...]

Free Taco Run! Saturday morning

FREE Saturday TACO RUN!
It takes a lot to get me out of bed before 8 am. Ever. But on a Saturday? Damn near impossible. But IF I’m going to run 7 or 10 miles, running it with a group might be the way to go. So I suggest Rogue’s Free Taco Run.
The scoop:
Coaches will lead [...]

Huge Weekend

I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big.
The highlight: Sunday night’s Nike Human Race.
6:30pm, a million people across the world will be running a 10K. In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area. And the [...]

Training Run + Daily Mile

I’m sure you’re curious about things to do tonight, Tuesday. But Tuesdays are not for events. Except the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s, which is an awesome event. Free tacos and drinks and friends and running routes, what more could you ask for?!
Well, perhaps an online community of runners? Daily Mile is a [...]

Sports Wednesday + Kanye!

Tonight is Kanye West’s Glow in The Dark Tour with Rhianna concert at the Erwin Center, and if I weren’t so committed to playing sand volleyball, I’d go. Ok, ok, if I had bought the $70 tickets right when they came out, I’d go, but since that’s not the case, I will be playing sand [...]

What to do on Wednesday

Wednesday this week is offering a doubleheader of athletic options. There’s always SoCo Run Club, the awesome run club I won’t stop talking about, but now there’s a new competitor: Wednesday pickup volleyball at Zilker.
So, there’s a friend of mine who started the meetup.com volleyball group (you can access it through atxvb.com too … he’s [...]

The Worst Run of My Life

I attempted a 12-miler on Saturday morning and thought I was going to pass out on the side of the road, as my stomach was ripped out of my body by three fists grabbing and twisting it until it snapped. Or because I ate a big egg-white omlette with ground beef and turkey bacon and [...]
