W.O.D. Walk of the Day. Some of you within the CrossFit world know better than me, WOD stands for Workout of the Day (500 burpees, 180 squats, 45 kettlebell swings, etc.). To me, CrossFit is like boating, better to have friends that do it. Then again, maybe that’s why I look like Olive Oyl. We’re issuing […]

Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good morning! Let’s get right to it. The last time we activated a component of our bylaws was August 2014 (bylaws crafted at the April 2005). We always strive to keep the tone of our Friday newsletter lighthearted. As you will see today, we can’t always do that. Back in […]
