Fitness - Skinning The Cat & HUGE "Nancy" PR - 2/17

Damn, my legs are still super stiff from Monday. I stretched out a lot last night and rolled out for another 15 minutes on top of that and they're still tight.

I have been getting at least 8.5 hours of sleep a night for the past 2 weeks, which has been feeling AMAZING!

Focus: Skinning The Cat

This felt incredible on my shoulders and really helped to loosen them up. I realized a few minutes later why we were trying to get our shoulders loose and warmed up. "Nancy" was on the docket which meant lots of over head squats and lots of running.

WOD: "Nancy" is 5 rounds AFAP for time of:
400m run
15 over head squats - 43 Kg (95#)

Score/Time: 12:39
Calories burned (focus & WOD): 594

BOOYA! This is a PR 3:28! Last time I did "Nancy" (which was a while ago) my time was 16:07. This morning I got every set of over head squats unbroken and hardly any rest between runs and getting back in the gym and on the bar. I remember last time I was breaking my OHS's into mini sets and having to snatch/clean & press the weight back over head. Not this time baby!

But holy hell, my quads were pretty worked after this. I had to work hard for this time. I was sucking wind on the last 2 400's. It did not feel good to run with my legs still being so sore but I fought through it. Although I killed the OHS's, the running took a lot out of me.

My goal for next time I take on "Nancy" will be 12:07. Two-a-days today so I've got another workout this evening. I'm hoping it won't include running or rowing.
