EC is Getting Hitched, so You’re Getting a Discount

It was a big weekend up in my neck of the woods. The Red Sox swept the Orioles, and the Bruins went up 2-0 in their playoff series. The Celtics are up tonight as they try to even their series with the Bulls at one game apiece. CP clients Steph Holland-Brodney and Aimee McGuire both ran the Boston Marathon, as did our friend Sarah Neukom. In the process, the three of them raised over $40,000 for charity! Many of you helped out via the promotions we did on my site. Great job, ladies!
On Saturday, I was the keynote speaker at the NSCA Maine Symposium up at my old stomping grounds, the University of New England. State Chairman Heath Pierce and his staff did a fantastic job with the event. And, as it turned out, I also got honored with the first ever Dr. Richard J. LaRue Award for achievement in Exercise Science. Dr. LaRue was my advisor at UNE and the man responsible for really getting their Exercise and Sports Performance Department off the ground. It is a huge honor, and that alone would have absolutely made my weekend – especially since it was near my hometown, so I got to receive it and present in front of several of my family members.
Sunday was my brother’s birthday, and snotty little brother that I am, I had to steal his thunder by capping the weekend off by proposing to my girlfriend of two years, Anna. She’s been known as the “First Lady of Cressey Performance” for some time now, but it seemed like a good time to make it official. Feats of strength like these already guaranteed her the position, but it was nice to know that she still accepted it by saying “Yes!”
(she’s got over 250 in her, no problem)
Needless to say, I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet right now, so we might as well celebrate – and help me pay off the ring!
Mike Robertson, Bill Hartman, and I had planned on a “customer appreciation sale” this week anyway, so we decided to change the theme to one of “engagement.” So, from now through Thursday, April 23rd at midnight, all of the following products are going to be 15% off with the coupon code “HITCHED” (no quotation marks) at checkout:
Building the Efficient Athlete DVD Set
Magnificent Mobility DVD
Bulletproof Knees Manual
Inside-Out DVD/Manual
Indianapolis Performance Enhancement Seminar DVD Set

Congratulations Eric!
I’ve been planing for a while to buy some of your ebooks as well as Mike’s. Couldn’t resist the discount and just bought several of them. 🙂

Congrats on the engagement Eric, married life is awesome. Let’s hope your Celtics meet up with my Mavericks in the finals (optimistic Mavs fan).
