Just wanted to keep ya'll up-to-date on my Sweety! 
Please excuse if some of this is a repeat, but what can I say....she's a "keeper"!
Here are Bernie's results from the USAPL 2nd RAW Nationals in Charlestown Virginia.
First, she won her age/weight class last year in St. Louis, so this is her 2nd win in a row at this National Meet. Last year, she damaged her rotator cuff on her 3rd bench attempt, still winning her class, and completing her deadlifts with a torn rotator. She had the rotator surgically repaired, and has come back "gangbusters".
Squat 100 k (220 lbs) that is a 40 pound PR for her.
(NEW National and American Record!)
Bench 50 K (She holds the State Record on this for 2 years)
Deadlift 120 K (NEW National and American Record)
We are going for 3 in a row next year.
As you know, she has also become a State Referee for the USAPL, and judged her first meet this past weekend in Streetsboro, Ohio (Dave Ricks Meet). She did a great job, helped out a lot of new lifters, and is having fun along the journey.
Not too bad for an "old" girl (52), who used to weigh 225+ (now competes at 132 lbs.), and struggles with the day-to-day issues of a diagnosis of active Lupus.
What can I say.....sometimes she's a pain-in-the-butt.....but = "She's my hero!" ;D
