June 6, 2011 I walked into the doors of Brazen Athletics as
a member and what ensued was a whirlwind of life changing attitudes,
experiences and friendships. One experience in particular I want to point out
as it directly relates to the meaning behind this blog.
I was in Boston watching the Northeast Regionals at a time
when about 37 people gave a shit about watching competitive exercise. I spent
some time with longtime friend, Rick Buro, whom I had not seen in a while, and
he told me he was opening his own gym in a month. I was floored. Quite
honestly, and he knows this, I was impressed.
I’m still impressed.
It’s now 2015 and here I am. Sitting on my couch thinking
out loud. Thinking about how unbelievable it is that I’m in the process of
writing a blog with an announcement of my own.
I’m opening my own gym. Sorry. Let me revise…
I’m opening my own gym!!!
So where does this blog go from here? Not sure. My fingers
are shaking in both excitement and nerves. Grammar and punctuation are now at
serious risk and I’m not going to apologize for it. After all, I’m opening my
own gym…
…and it’s called Tribute Strength
