Abstract:  
As I write this, it is getting close to that time of year again. That’s right, you guessed it, the EI Shot Peening US Workshop. For some of you that means buying plane tickets and booking a hotel. For others it means buying costumes and putting up Halloween decorations. However, this year, I’m super excited, because my wife and I will be running our first Spartan race. I know what some of you are saying right now, “But Bryan, aren’t you an engineer? And I thought engineers didn’t have any measurable upper body strength to run an obstacle race and didn’t like the outdoors?” And you would be correct if I were a stereotypical engineer, but I’m not. I love physical actives such as lifting weights, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), swimming, and running. I also prefer to be outside, where there are fewer engineers—some of those people are crazy.
