About Juliet Heins

Juliet Heins is a contemporary artist, living in Austin, Texas.

We got back from Will’s last NICA mountain bike race of the season last weekend. It was a lot of fun! Shane helped coach the team, and Ru and I helped volunteer in the camp, setting up tents and cooking etc. Every year at the end of February our family and some of our good friends participate in an annual Ayyam-i-Ha creek cleanup that we have done the last 4 years since we moved to this neighborhood. We live beside a large creek that is technically a city park but not really maintained by the city and every year after the winter flooding there is always a lot of trash that gets left behind along the trails. We had bought plane tickets to go to Canada this summer- only to realize we had no where to spend a 2 week total quarantine that everyone going into Canada had to do. So we canceled our trip and plane tickets for the 2nd summer in row 😆 and instead our awesome nieces and nephew flew down to visit us in Texas for 2 weeks. We basically just watched a lot of fast and furious movies and would go swimming in the evening when it wasn’t so hot out. So much water at sculpture falls yesterday! We had a lot of fun getting a break from the heat of Texas summer. Our cat Smokie’s full arsenal of tricks now include sitting, shaking a paw and laying down 😻 #thingstododuringquarantine #neverthoughtacatcoulddothis #trainingcats Yesterday we set up the spot GPS tracker for shane to take on his 5 day solo Grand Canyon backpacking trip 😎 drove him to the airport early this morning. After almost 2 decades of him trekking off trail into the wilderness - I’ll finally be able to know where to find his body if he falls off a cliff 😆 #findmespot #grandcanyontrip Adventure of the week- Shane and I hiking our favorite trail in Austin- River Place Trail. 10k of up and down hilly wonderfulness. Moving here from Vancouver it took some time to get used used to not having mountains around. This trail is the closest we’ve found to a good mountain substitute. The last photo is the meal that Shane made for us afterwards... magical breakfast for dinner. #riverplacenaturetrail #hike #austintexas Shane and I started working out together in January. We both needed an accountability partner to start working out again consistently. He had a shoulder injury and I had a hip injury from the summer that had made it really easy to just skip working out all together. We took a break from the kettlebells and skipping to do a week of just mobility and bodyweight move & groove’s- which was honestly a lot harder then the weights! The lateral monkey walk in this move & groove was a killer! It looks super easy but my legs were on fire and I was dying for it to be over! The workout for that day was a mobility warmup, then each movement performed for 45 secs x 6 rounds followed by some decompression yoga poses. #move&groove This was our adventure today- finished the 10k in 1 hour & 58 mins 😁 with a combo of walk/jog. #cap10k #virtualrace #austintexas
