I just want to give a big congrats to the guys who went down to Morgantown last weekend!
 
We only had to guys competing – Jason Cable and Bobby from Logan.  However, they both won their divisions and looked really good.
 
Cable not only won his no gi division but was also the first featured Superfight, which was also a victory.  He won all of his matches by submission and represented everyone tremendously!
 
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication.

I just want to welcome:

This last weekend, my friends and fellow members of the gysm, Scott Owens, Hunter Owens, and Tristen Owens all ran the 5K “Spring Thaw” sponsored by the YMCA of Charleston.  It was a great event and most importantly it got people together to do something positive and healthy.  With all of the negative press surrounding West Virginia and obesity, I really think an event like this deserves more attention.

There were people out there who were and great shape and those who were not, but the important thing was they all gave it there best.  I couldn’t be more proud of the people who race and finished.

Of course, I want to give a special shout out to the Owens family.  I think it’s really special to see a whole family participating in something healthy and positive.  It’s a great event for kids and it was really inspiring to see Hunter and Tristen finish the race, especially because this was the first time they have ever ran a race or a 5K!

Thanks for the great memories and I’ll see you at the next one.  Next up for me is the Race for the Cure on May 1st.  However, you never know is something else may pop us before then.

Train Hard!
