Well today is election day and we are waiting. Jeremy, in the past, canvassed and got out the vote in Pennsylvania – including a touching story where he helped a disabled woman who had not been outside her house in years to get to a polling station – but we didn’t do anything like that this time (besides give $). Edda has the day off school and we are just hanging out.
This past Sunday, we went lifting – this time learning the clean and jerk. Our weight gym was losing its lease on it’s old building in Frederick (it’s going to be torn down) and moved to a SoldierFit gym space. Never in my life did I think we’d be members of SoldierFit, but here we are. It’s a great space with lots of good equipment and we went the inaugural Sunday to train.
Ward, our coach, taught us how to tape our thumbs. I feel like a real lifter. Except that my clean and jerk is about 40 pounds. lol. Approximately the amount of a bag of dog food.
