In the last 4 years I have had the utmost pleasure of doing CrossFit at a great local (Mississauga) gym, called Element CrossFit. Soon the company I work for is going to move far far away from here and I won’t be able to attend regularly anymore. Much to my dismay. That place holds a lot of great memories, friends and achievements for me. I just felt like I should give them a solid rousing and glowing report card, as thanks to their mentoring and coaching I was able to get into great shape for my wedding in 2010.

The below photo is of me dead lifting 315lbs. For a guy who weighed in around 127lbs for a very very long time (Thanks to my Crohn’s Disease), I take great pride in that. Not to mention just how great the community atmosphere is at Element, and just how gracious both Alex & Rachel are! Best wishes to all of you at Element.

I’ll always have a great low carb Cracked Canoe beer in my fridge for you should you stop by the Liberty Village Office.

I will see you guys again before the big move at the end of this month.

For all of you Sci-Fi fiends out there, I would suggest going to see the new Ridley Scott film, preferably in an Imax 3D with dolby 7.1 surround sound, to really get a good sense of the scale in this epic (not quite prequel). I hope the sequel gets made within the next 2-3 years. Although I hear there may be a Blade Runner follow-up movie in the works too (which I would be very excited to see, as I do love the 80’s sci-fi classic, Director’s cut, no voice-over).

It isn’t another Alien movie, so get that out of your head right now. Similar in tone, and look & feel, but this isn’t LV-426.

I say go see it with an open mind, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I know that I’ll go again. Perhaps I’ll see you there.
