Oh Nancy!

Today was the day we were introduced to Nancy...

"Nancy" is a workout that consists of a lot of running (2000 meters total) and overhead squats (75 total). I had a hard time with this workout today. #1 Because I have not yet mastered the form for an overhead squat and #2 Because I pinched a nerve in my arm and my arm went numb on the 4th round of OH squats. Not good, but its about 2 hours later, and I have the feeling back--which is good--So don't worry Bill, I'm okay ;)

Anyway, today was difficult because we took a week off from CrossFit because we (Rob and I) settled on our new home on Thursday (24th) and we have been renovating like crazy... Taking a week off from CrossFit is a BAD idea because it is like Day 1 getting back into it. Well, to be honest, every day is like day 1 because CrossFit is never easy.

Today's Entire Workout

Warm Up:
Row for 2 minutes
15 Air Squats
Hip stretches (5 at 10 seconds)
Shoulder rolls w/PVC
Calf and ankle stretches
15 OHS + Scotts Press w/PVC

Strength Move:
Over head squats
5 sets of 3 (increasing weight each time)

WOD:
NANCY
5 RFT
(5 rounds for time. Basically,  how long will it take you to do 5 rounds of 400 meters and 15 OHS)


I maxed at 45 pounds on OHS
Momma maxed at 35 pounds on OHS

During Nancy, we just used the 15 pound bar because our OHS is not mastered. 

All I can say is Go us! It is only officially week 2 of real (not beginner) CrossFit classes and we are pulling our weight!

Now, waiting for the pain to set in and time to go relax and get a cup of hot tea. 

Just Some pics of us practicing our OHS's tonight
