Elite Muscle Classic





Saturday started at 3:45am with a trip to Johnston County for a Relay for Life yard sale. Daniel and I went down there--he sold our yard sale stuff while I sold food to raise money for Relay. We left there around 12:30 pm then headed to Greensboro to watch Jason compete in the Elite Muscle Classic. This was his second show ever. His first show was 3 weeks ago and he came in second in his division. There were some big boys (and girls!) at this show. It started at 6pm but we didn't get to see his poses until 11:30pm. It was a loooong night! He didn't place this time but he sure did look better than some of those other guys--they were kinda gross. Got home around 1:00am--made for a long day. You can click on the youtube link to see his whole performance. Go Jason!
