Winter Update

I've been incredibly busy since my last post.  I have been on a long-term work assignment in another state and have almost finished my second class at Hawthorn University.  Since coming here, my routine had to change a lot.  Basically, I traded yoga for CrossFit, thinking I was healthier and lighter and it would go …
