Greetings!
Good morning! From all the smile on your face, we trust your week is going well?! Glad to hear it. Thank you once again for putting up with this ludicrousness that we call a "newsletter".
We have had a blast this week. It started with the Sunday edition of the New York Times where we actually saw our name in print! The Cleveland Clinic listed a few of the wellness programs that they offer, and all of us made the cut! We feel better than Navin R. Johnson from Steve Martin's movie, The Jerk(please see quote below).
This is a great opportunity to once again thank Dr. Rick Kratche, Carrie Wolfe, David Pauer, Lisa Harris, and all the other great people we've been fortunate enough to work with at the Cleveland Clinic. This excitement was followed up Monday by a well-written article in The Lantern http://tinyurl.com/krenzel and a trip to Fox/WSYX yesterday morning - YouTube not available (Thank you to OSU and Janice Piscitelli!).
Please read on, we have important information to share.

HEALTH ALERT!!! - Change in the Guidelines!
Sure, we like to have fun in our newsletters, who doesn't. However, at the end of the day, it's about being safe and it's about being healthy. And let's be honest, sometimes we know what to do, we just need reminded.
That is why, on this special anniversary of former NY Giant wide receiver Plaxico Burress's crucial mishap, we have chosen to readdress this critical point.
Carrying a loaded gun next to your privates with the safety off - No Longer Recommended.
It is unfortunate when it takes a celebrity such as
Super Bowl Champion Plaxico Burress to bring awareness to such an
important cause.
As our dedicated walkers are aware, we had brought
up this specific safety topic at a walk in early November 2008. For
those of you having trouble recalling, it was the week after we
recommended not sticking your head in a blender.

Poop Muffin |
Poop Muffins - They are back...and they are magical!
Those old-school Walk with a Doc-er's (circa early 2009) are familiar with Poop Muffins. The new school Walk with a Doc-er's are likely either confused, disgusted, or both.
What's a poop muffin you say? I don't really know, but I know they're delicious. They have lots of heart healthy fiber (surprise) and plenty of dark chocolate (heart healthy and fantastic).
So, we are aware these are a big hit. Unfortunately, we cannot make enough for everybody this week. Fortunately, the initial 48 people that arrive will have first right of refusal of said muffin. For those that choose to accept the muffin, beware! Last year a walker told me that they didn't even make it out of the park! Oh No!
For those of you keeping score at home, the "Poop Muffin Walk" ranked as the 7th most popular walk of 2009.

You are incredible. You are the first generation fully armed with the knowledge that something as easy as walking, eating right, maintaining an appropriate body weight, and not smoking can eliminate 85% of heart disease and, oh yeah, about 40 other diseases as well. Forget about the fact that it makes you feel like a million bucks. So why are you incredible? You are incredible because you are acting on this knowledge and you are making a difference in your life and in others. Have a great couple of days and we will...
See you Saturday,
David

Navin R. Johnson:
The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!
Harry Hartounian:
Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin R. Johnson:
Nothing?
Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now!
Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of
spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in
print! Things are going to start happening to me now.
[the Sniper points to Navin's name in the phone book]
Sniper:
Johnson, Navin R... sounds like a typical bas***d.
