Well, it’s been a minute… both since I last wrote a blog and since I made bone broth, and here I am doing both. l’m not going to go into all of the details of my absence. Suffice to say it’s been a bumpy year. To be honest, I want really sure I wanted to …
Yes that is right. Somehow we missed each other on Monday but don’t panic, the motivation is still here and we are back once again, with the Crossfit Master this time. David Hippensteell is a 5 times Crossfit Games masters athlete and winner of the Games in the Masters 60+ division in 2016 and 2017. …
