For a limited engagement, I’ll be modeling my newly acquired pink “mankini” this Saturday. Ian has generously donated a dancer’s pole for me to utilize during my modeling routine. Any and all donations would greatly be appreciated. All donations will help supply the CFC frig with delicious, thirst quenching BEER!" Posted in WOD 7/26/10
Trent - you're welcome! I agree with you 100%. I actually found it after my return to a strength day this past Tuesday. It felt SO GOOD to sling some weight! That essay was like a mirror to how my soul felt. Yup, it was that deep. I'm glad you dig it! =)" Posted in WOD 7/24/10

Kaysie- Thank you so much for posting the link to "Iron and the Soul" by Henry Rollins in the forum. A super inspirational and heartfelt essay. I think it eloquently puts words to what most of us feel deep down. For those that have not read it I would definitely recommend you do so.
See you peeps on Monday" Posted in WOD 7/24/10
