"Nancy"

5 Rounds for time of:

400 Meter run
15 Overhead squats (Men 95 lbs, Women 65 lbs)

My time:  18:39, Rx - Unbroken

Ah, Nancy....such a favorite.  I woke up this morning, still nursing a migraine and groggy from the meds I took to try and get rid of it, saw Nancy posted as the WOD, smiled really big and got right out of bed.  It's one of the first workouts I ever "loved".  Seeing Nancy posted every now and then is like showing up at church and hearing an old gospel song you haven't heard in years...just makes you feel good all over! 

I was just 26 seconds off my PR this morning.  My running felt good but I could tell I was sluggish.  The OHS however felt awesome.  Tight core, deep squat, active shoulders - just good solid overhead squats.  And of course I can't do this workout without it being unbroken.  Wouldn't be right! 

And best of all, my headache is much more tolerable this morning.  Hopefully by tomorrow it'll be gone.

The strength today was Overhead Squats:

5-3-2-1-1-1

my loads:
65-70-75-80-85-100

  1. If you get into the habit of having your core workout in if your baby is napping, you’ll soon discover drastic results. Here are three exercises you can do during that nap time that may supercharge your day time and leave you feeling and looking your easiest.
