“Dear PoPville,
When: Saturday February 7th between 10:30 -11am
Where: Monroe St NW in Columbia Heights. Right before the light on 13th street.
What: You stopped to do a bodyweight deadlift in the middle of the sidewalk.
The interaction:
I thought “did she just do a dead lift”? As you crossed the street I speed walk ahead and called back, “Checkin your deadlift form?” and with a big smile on your face, “yea just making sure I’m doing it right.” I said, “yep formed looks great” then said to you, “for a moment I thought is she about to do a snatch” with a chuckle. You said something back, laughed and smiled. If I’m honest I don’t remember what you said I was just excited the interaction was going so well.
In the spirit of continuing to do bold, scary out of character things, like talking to a stranger doing a deadlift with perfect form in the public on a freezing cold morning. I am putting out a missed connection. It would be sick if we could chat again or who knows maybe I will catch you doing another deadlift, snatch or power clean in the wild. The possibilities are endless…”
