I’ve been a fan of fitness for many many years. Am I an “athlete”? I’m sure that depends on the interpretation, but the word athlete is defined as a person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise. I played football in middle school, by high school, everyone was bigger than me, so I played golf my entire high school career.

After high school, I began going to the gym, mostly light strength training, I would run a little here in there. And by a little, I mean 1-2 miles. I ran a 5k in high school when I was maybe 16, and think I finished with a time of roughly 26 minutes & change, by no means fast.

Fast forward to today. I still hit the gym, although more focused on strength & high intensity. Every once in a while, Google Now will throw something into my feed that’s interesting. A while back, I saw an article from Runners World: The CrossFit Workout Runners Should Actually Try. It outlined some workouts regularly found in CrossFit to help runners.

Where am I going with this?

If you’ve read the VMUG Voice newsletter for February 2014, you know what I’m talking about. For those who, like many of us, are pressed for time to read newsletters when our inboxes are filled with tech articles, white papers, & other job/techie-related pieces, I’ll explain it briefly.

It’s like ‘paying it forward’, but there’s nothing being paid or given. I like to present, I enjoy Q&A, and I have fun being the chump when those want to play “stump the chump”. It’s always a learning experience for me, although not everyone is like this.

Some may want to present, but are uneasy, don’t know where to begin, and simply need a little jump start to get going. That’s what Feed Forward is about, helping [feeding] others to get them up there presenting.

After all, this is a ‘user group’ :)

With this, I’d like to put out the invitation to anyone in our SATX VMUG community who would like to present, but don’t feel they have the tools necessary. It’s March now, less than a month from our last meeting, and I’d like to get the ball rolling on the next meeting. In this meeting, I’d like someone to present about…well…I dunno, why don’t you tell me what you want to present about?

I’ll be happy to help out, provide info, even be an audience for a trial run. Maybe even do a small group audience (5-10) for feedback during a trial run.

What do you say SATX VMUG? Who wants to go first? Email me, head over to the San Antonio VMUG workspace, tweet, whatever, just let me know and we’ll get the ball rolling.

So, I picked this item up from today’s Woot off.
