My laptop keyboard is hosed. Taking it into Mr. Notebook later for repair. If I don’t get it back today, there will be little to no blogging this weekend. Unless my lovely wife will let me borrow hers later.

In other words, the type of people who just give up their dog (especially a little mutt like the dachshunds in the story) — somehow I get the feeling that they are not the type of people who have started making the hardest personal sacrifices yet.

 

Even then, I was not only the first person in our class to finish (the first time ever for me “winning” one of our timed workouts in our class…especially a good metcon workout), but I was the only one to finish in the allocated time of 23 minutes.

Some people are just no damned good, and the world would be a better place without them. Eric Cathey is one such person.

 

But hey, they really liked the idea of voting for a black guy who wasn’t a Republican. Sadly, for most of them, that’s all that mattered to them.

The actual Grave routine doesn’t specifically call lout clean and jerk. Instead, it’s simply from ground to full overhead (elbows fully locked out) by any means. However, our coach was insisting we do the full clean and jerk, which is great if you are not strong enough to use a power clean and press, push press, or jerk.

 

I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead:
