    28. The CrossFit Episode.

    This episode is ALL things CrossFit. Today's guests are my friends and CrossFitters Kelly Gehman, Carl & Amanda Teachey, and Sean Greene. Disclaimer: I am not a CrossFitter. But I was interested in the allure behind it - it seems like most people (those that I know at least) get sucked in and never look back. So, I gathered four of my pharmacist friends who have all been CrossFitting for many years to get the inside scoop. And there is way more to the story than you may have thought!
