We hope that everyone is enjoying their holidays as much as we are. If you are taking a rest this week or traveling, be sure to stretch, hydrate, and keep moving (run, row, bike, swim). Also take this time to relax and think about some goals for the new year. There will be a new white board up containing everyone’s goals for the new year. I would like you to post at least two!

Everyone had a great time at the EDCF Christmas Party this past Saturday. It was filled with great food and great company. The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of Zach’s Justin Bieber White Elephant gift. Looking forward to next year’s!

We have already had a lot of great responses from the membership survey and value all of them. If you haven’t filled it out yet, please do! We are planning on making a few changes after the new year and every bit of feedback helps. Take the survey HERE.

Barbells & Handlebars was this past weekend and went out with a bang! We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout and better people surrounding the event. Saturday was filled with positive vibes, new personal records, and friendly competition as people from all over the metroplex (and a few outside it) came together for the event. I would like to take a minute to thank all of the EDCF volunteers. Without you all working behind the scenes, it would have never gone as smoothly as it did. I received many compliments about the event’s organization and it’s all thanks to y’all. I would also like to thank Bryan Perkins and Zach Wentz. These two were behind the scenes since the birth of the idea. After countless hours or website design, content strategy, and drinking beer, I hope that this event was everything that you two anticipated. Well done gentlemen.

Can’t wait until Barbells & Handlebars 2013!

Here are a few pics from Saturday. More to come!
