Weighty Accomplishments

Edith Murway-Traina lifts weights.  So do many others.  But not when they’re almost 100 years old.

Murway-Traina will become a centenarian this week.  This may have slowed her down some, but not enough to forego lifting “40-150 pounds at her competitions.”

This hardy gal didn’t even begin such feats until age 91.  Before that, she focused upon lifting her feet with joyous dance moves.
