Day 1 was yesterday 11-04-08 (Election Day). I completed my push ups watching the results come in for the elections.
I woke up a little sore today to President Elect Obama giving his acceptance speech and the news that light rail did not pass in KC. Obama's speech was somewhat inspiring and I hope my questions about his presidency are answered in a good way. I will embrace him as our new president and pray he makes the right decisions.
Thinking back on the election, I have even more love for our great Nation. Being a veteran and a public servant I feel I am a fairly patriotic citizen. While standing in line a few days ago to vote, I was able to see a legitimate concern for our nation on every persons face. For some reason it took the anxiety out of me making the right decision on my voting selections. I knew our great Nation would make the right decision. Earlier this week I helped out a little bit with a campaign my cousin works for. "Yes" I was the annoying person making phone calls. I actually made 326 of them. I was hung up on numerous times; however, I was able to speak with a lot of people who were definitely not afraid to express their concerns to a stranger on the other end of the phone line. Again, I was able to witness first hand the wonderful power of freedom.
I do not want to set the tone of this blog as being political. It is supposed to be a workout blog but for some reason this is what I was thinking about while counting out my pushups. I am definitely not usually this windy. I am know for writing not enough than too much.
Feel free to just post you did 150 pushups that day but if you want to post and start a discussion on some other topic or thought feel free. Obviously I did!!
FYI I completed 100 pushups while writing this post. Only 50 more, a cross fit workout, and 8.25 hours of work left for today!!
