Strength for the Soul

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points our how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high acheivement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so this his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.”

-Teddy Roosevelt

I have no idea how to go about doin this.  I wanna start looking for a good date/time for my first show to give me something to work towards.  anyone know of a place to go to start the search?  I want something about 8 or so months out, in or around the columbus area (not the arnold! haha). 

 By the way, for anyone who’s been readin these, the new gym opened yesterday and its pretty cool!  lots of new stuff to try and people to meet, as well as alot of friends from the old gym that came over as well!  Kinda makes me feel bad for the old gym because i know for sure they lost a huge base of people that are over at the new gym.  I think God has big things in store for this gym, and I hope that I can be one of the people he uses to get them rolling!

Basically, you can retrofit your cardio equipment to take the extra energy you generate (by the rotating motion that i assume drives a generator) and pumps it back into the electrical grid.  Not only does this save you money (by giving you credits from the electrical company) but it also is good for the environment!  Did i mention this is the kind of thing you get tax breaks for?

Hey there! 

I’m in the process of applying to optometry schools right now, and I am wondering if anyone on this site is actually a practicing optometrist or optometry student right now!  if you are, I would love to talk to you for a little bit about your experience and the profession!  Thanks!
