HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO JEFFREY B. AND JOSH S.!

Sorry for the lack of photos over the past few days. It's because I've been so busy traveling the state of California and getting my learn on at Norcal Strength and Conditioning (Robb Wolf paleo nutrition seminar, pictured below) along with stopping in at Bodytribe and CrossFit One World. Next up: a few more affiliate visits followed by a CrossFit Kids cert at BrandX this weekend! (Photo courtesy of RobbWolf.com.)
