Tell Me...



I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Sorry SC...

Here is the email I received after my "catch up" post. I kinda feel like an ass because I did not mention Sarah at all. I must say, for a "newbie" to CF with only a month or so of training at Derby CF in Louisville, KY, she came out to Sicily and KILLED IT! There was some technique adjustment, lots of sweat, and a little bit of me yelling for motivation, but all in all she was awesome! Here you go babe, your 10 seconds of fame! Enjoy. :)




Oh Thanks! After my three weeks of CF with you I get ZERO credit on your BLOG... huh!
After all my hard work... wearing the kit that about killed me! sprints... in the blazing HOT sun... doing squats even with a sore hip flexor burpees out the ass even the reverse! with No bitching embracing the suck attitude! Did I mention having to endure your coaching and pushing... ;) and not even a supporting actor award! WTF... :) LOL!!!
I want my OSCAR!!! GIVE ME!!!

Did I not push you enough not to even get a mention or a credit whatsoever (i would have taken 7 point font) LOL! If you wanna talk about the "Dark SIDE" oh we can go there!! LOL!

I am laughing as I write this... but honestly I do deserve some CF LOVE!!! COME ON BABY!!!

But... YOU just "fueled my fire" to fuck you up.... (LOL) in a WOD next time we meet! HA HA

LOVE YA!! xoxo

Glad I could motivate you...xoxo
