Saturday

Baby it's cold outside and what's a girl to do except go running in 15 degree weather:-) Did the famous Washington St. run with a group from Crossfit. This was the first time I have truly ran in well over a month due to illness. Felt really good and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thurs, Nov 18th

400 m run outside
50 back ext
400 m run
75 ab mat sit ups
400 m run
100 squats
400 r run

Time 17:25

Did not finish last run. Bad lungs & throat. Again, baby steps back.

Wed, Nov 17th

AMRAP 20 min
30 sec handstand hold
30 sec squat hold
30 sec l-sit hold
30 sec chin over bar

Made 9 rounds plus 1 handstand hold. The first holds were great, the l-sit was more of a tucked under and the chin over bar sucked. Still, this was a wod that worked with my lungs.

Tues, Nov 16th

Nancy

5 rounds
400 m run-outside
15 overhead squats RX 65#

Made 2 rounds. My lung capacity is still recovering. Oh well, it is a start!

Here we go . . .

Monday was some light, heavy lifting with overhead squats and deadlifts. Stayed away from met-con still. At Dr. again. Going to try an inhaler to increase lung capacity. Most likely just need some R & R and time, but I am impatient and desperately want to get back into my WOD's again.

Tuesday I gave it a go. Did 2 rounds of 5 of 400 m run and 15 overhead squats at 65#. Ran outside, which is my favorite, and the second 400m killed my throat. Hate, hate, hate doing overhead squats in my running shoes. The balance is just off. Taking baby steps here to get my health back.

This is for you Mark!

No, I'm not dead. . .

Yep, it's been a couple of crappy weeks being sick. On the second round of antibiotics and steroids. Super frustrating! Went in about four days last week and could only do one round before i was gasping for air and my throat felt like I had drank battery acid. Did do one heavy day. Totals weren't bad, but not were I wanted them. Will redo once better.

Overhead squat 1-1-1-1-1
95 lbs. (best previous 100 lbs. spring 2010)
Front squat 1-1-1-1-1
125 lbs. (no documented front squat weight)
back squat 1-1-1-1-1
155 lbs. (this one killed me since I love back squats and can do 180! B was showing me the low back bar resting position. It felt totally weird. Will practice more. Still need weightlifting shoes)

Killing me to have nice fall weather and unable to go running outside. Sure the combo of chilly and depleted respiratory function would be a very bad idea. Waiting patiently here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beyond awesome!

Ok, so I happened upon the Warrior Dash website earlier this year and was instantly intrigued. The problem was a flipping long road trip that just wasn't in the cards. The warrior gods must have heard my cries and decided to throw down the gauntlet closer to home. I mean what sounds better that a 5k obstacle course with a beer chaser? Needless to say, I will be there crawling in the mud and wearing those sexy horns. What is still to be determined is who will join me?
