This is why you train...

I received an email from a friend this weekend about a touching story. Here it is...

I read this today and thought you'd be interested. It's a blog written by a friend's husband, Kirk MacLeod about his battle with colon cancer. Until today I hadn't realized he was a CrossFitter; they've lived in NYC for the last several years and he trained at CrossFit NYC before getting ready to relocate his family from Honduras (he works for the UN). He's fighting his cancer battle at 'home' in Nova Scotia so he, his wife and their two small kids can lean on their extended family. Anyway, his take on his disease as it relates to his overall fitness was something I thought you'd be interested in. He said you could feel free to re-post if you'd like.

Please take a few minutes to read his post below.This is why you trainTodays workout will be dedicated to Kirk.AMRAP in 7min3 Cleans (60% of max)6 Burpees9 Squats[caption id="attachment_4179" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Kirk"]
