i was loose head prop too! very cool sport, takes a lot of heart to get "beat-up" and still come back for more. I havn't played in bit...the team here got in trouble for some dumb college behavior so the games were put on hold. I look forward to playing now that I can keep up. I am interested to see if I can still live up to my name "tackling tank" now that I'm 100+ less lol

and thanks!

Amazing! Congratulations on your first 5K and way to set a PR. You look fantastic! What a success. Though I love your rugby photo too. I would never have dreamed of doing anything like that when I was big. What an inspiration.
