“Nancy”
5rds for time:
400m run
15 overhead squats @ 95#
Time: 20:03

crossfitsouthie (20130515). good things: PRing in my overhead squat in a big way after not lifting for like a month. bad things: persistent IT band pain despite resting from running for like a month. Nancy was rough, burned my lungs and I should’ve been able to go faster but have been out of the crossfit game for a bit!

3rds for time:
row 500m
20 pushups
Time: 10:15

not exactly blazing fast after my two week long hiatus from exercise. lungs were burning and the last 20 pushups were agony.

rest days

sick as a dog, thought i had mono but turns out just to be a terrible viral infection. will likely have to drop out of the MMA fight because i can’t give my opponent such an advantage (haven’t been able to really train for the past month due to illness/marathon recovery). i’m heartbroken.
