    I expected more excitement for Iron Phoenix WOD 3! Whos’ stoked about 20/16″ Rx box jumps? That was SO NICE of us, right? We wants lots of participation, so sign up now if you’ve been dragging your feet!

    1. Dave

      I, for one, am super excited about this height. It increases EVERYONE’S cycle time. Love it.

    2. Tav

      I’m just excited overall. No real reason.

  2. Rick

    I thought something looked weird about the box jumps. Huh? How about that?

    I’m still firmly on the fence but suggest everyone else sign up. It’s a lot of fun and shouldn’t be 37 degrees like last year.

      Get off the fence, Uncle Rico.

      Box jumps are legs and I can’t do legs that day. May 2nd is Scurvy Awareness Day.

    3. The Real Uncle Rico

      Uncle Rico treats his legs like he treats his girlfriends; ignore them and watch them disappear. He also talks about himself in the 3rd person as well.

    Hi Everyone,

    I wanted to post here to see if anyone would be interested in an exercise buddy? I am fostering a 1 year old Black Lab/Pit mix that spends 20+ hours in cage every day. He is a great runner, no distractions, no swerving. He will happily go any speed. I’m just looking to get him out of that cage as often as possible. He is located right in Malvern, so less than 10 minutes from ICA. He is a very sweet boy. Feel free to call me if you are interested, or have any questions! 610-585-2571. Thank you!

    Kim – how about plug for the 5k you posted to FaceBook too? We have lots of animal lovers AND runners 🙂 If I remember right it’s “The Dog Jog 5k Run/Walk” on May 30, starting at Reeve’s park at 9am. Money goes to a spaying organization?

    1. Kim D.

      Yes! Thank you Nikki! It does benefit The Spayed Club. It is on May 30th at Reeve’s Park!

    Nikki I will be signing up my friend Uncle Rico, he’s kinda a dick but should fit in well with the barbell or breakfast club. Put him down for the 8 week program.
