She happened to come over to the weight rack just as I was picking up the 70's (the wellness center we use has their highest dumbbells at 80) to do the working sets of the deadlift. She looked surprised I was picking them up and I learned later she was impressed that I was using them.  Of course I told her after the fact that thoughts of "I don't know if I can do this..." changed to "Holy #$^&, I can do this!" once I started lifting. (And that when I started NROL, I started with the 20's). Still, it was nice that the hard work is being recognized. |
Validation! Sweet, isn't it? Awesome, stingo!
