Stay in America or Move to Canada?! Decisions, decisions....

Well, tomorrow we will (hopefully...) find out who the next President of the United States will be. I have voted early here in Hamilton County, Tennessee so all I have to do is sit back and watch the results come in. This is the first time that I can say that I have no earthly idea what will happen in this country on Wednesday after the dust settles.... It doesn't matter whether it is Hillary or Trump that wins... there is going to be an uproar I think. Fortunately we have lots of good friends up in Canada.

Warm-Up:
Row, 500m
Foam Roller Work
PVC Passthrough, 20 repetitions
Weight Training:
Snatch from the Block, 70% of 1-RM 3 sets of 3 repetitions

Election Night and Back Exercises

Today is the day of the mid-term elections. I am not going to post who I voted for here in Arizona or what ballot measures I supported. I will say that I do love election day. Every time that there is an election in this country and power shifts back and forth peacefully I am thankful to be here. America is flawed, we don't always do the right thing in the world.... but mostly we are good and this experiment that started 238 years ago is doing all right.

Today's quote is from Franklin D. Roosevelt:

"No one will ever deprive the American people of their right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting."

Landmine Rows, 3 sets of 5-8 repetitions

Have a Great Day!
