Published in WOD Talk Magazine!

Hey guys! Happy Friday! First: I’m so excited to announce that WOD Talk, the CrossFit Lifestyle Magazine, achieved their Kickstarter last month, which enabled them to go to print!

“WOD Talk is a lifestyle magazine for people who train using CrossFit, which is a core strength and conditioning program. WOD stands for Workout of the Day!!! Each issue provides educational information from experts in the fields of fitness, nutrition and sports psychology as well as motivational success stories.”

This is huge for the CrossFit community, because as it grows (and it’s growing mighty fast), so will desire for content. I know we’ve almost completely submerged into a digital society, but it’s still nice to have print. That being said, I had the opportunity to contribute to the magazine for their May issue. Not only did I contribute an article, but a photo I shot at CrossFit 310 as well. I love being able to capture the essence of what makes CrossFit so. f’ing. awesome. SO, if you haven’t already, subscribe! They have a digital subscription for $10 per year or you can get print & digital for $35 per year.

What are your plans this weekend? Tonight I’ll be donating blood to the Red Cross for CrossFit 310′s blood drive & 2 year anniversary party. I’m so honored to celebrate 310 and everything we’ve accomplished in the past year. Also, I’m going to see Roger Waters at the L.A. Colosseum Saturday night, followed by a research paper & a marketing power point. I don’t know how I manage, but I seem to pack a lot into one weekend. I hope you have a great weekend and here are some posts from around the web . . . .

There’s still time to enter Civilized Caveman’s $4000 giveaway. That’s a LOT of grass-fed meat.

I’m sorry I haven’t really been writing. I’ve been dealing with a hand injury from 12.3 (which I’ll write about next week), as well as work, school and personal obligations. I promise to get back to it soon! In the meantime, I’m taking it easy for now, and doing cardio / endurance. This weekend I’m going wine tasting with a friend in Malibu, and then to a rooftop BBQ at another friend’s house in Santa Monica, finished by a birthday party for another friend in Hermosa Beach. All of that in one day! Phew! Then Sunday it’s back to business as usual. Here are some posts from around the web . . . . . .
