The Performance test. In the bag, climbing those stairs on the obstacle course were a bitch. I was dog tired after that one, but I made it, some others didn't. I'm one step closer to being among the ranks of the bravest.

Thanks man. Then to make it even better, on my way home a PR chick driving a little blue Honda shouted, "Mira, Papi!!!" *screech* U-turn!!! Went back and got the number.

Damn, life is good right now.

Yessir, I'm a Northeast boy.

Kelly> Everything is done with a 40lb weight vest on and everything you have to carry ranges from 30-75lbs. It was extremely hard, I've been working out since the end of the summer for this.

That's really great, Tom. Congratulations and good luck with the rest of it. Keep us updated.
