Personal Notes - March 2003

Hello Everyone!

First, I would like to say it was a pleasure meeting many of you at the 2003 Arnold Classic. I am glad that everyone arrived to the event safely and returned home safely.

As I am sure everyone that was in attendance will agree, it was a weekend full of excitement and good entertainment. It is always such a thrill getting together with fitness minded people and simply having a great time. It really makes you realize that you are not the only one that carries an entire buffet of food with you so that you do not have to succumb to unhealthy eating while away from home and on the run. Also, you are not the only one that gets very excited over a new protein bars that tastes like Milky Way candy bars. ;)

I would like to single out one event that stands out as the highlight of the entire weekend, but as I sit here and try to think of one, I honestly can't pick one.

Seeing Monica Brant on the competition stage really was inspiring. Jenny Hendershott's routine was phenomenal as always. Having the opportunity to assist in presenting the awards for the women's and men's events was an absolute blast. Everyone backstage was so friendly and upbeat. Meeting new and old friends at the Expo is something I always look forward to. I hope to see everyone there again next year!

At the end of this month, I will be leaving for New York to compete in the NY Metropolitan Fitness Championships. I'm beginning my final few weeks of contest prep and everything is going well so far. I haven't been back to New York since we moved to Florida 20 years ago, so it feels a little strange going back there now. If any of you happen to be in the area, come on out and feel free to give a cheer or two for lilttle ole me ;)

Wish me luck!
