Training @ 6am:
*Sleep at 11:30 last night. Not ideal. Had a tall iced redeye on my way in, it got me going, but I really need to get to bed earlier. Oh well.
*Right side of my back and my left hip feel tight. Probably from volume this week. Getting a massage at 3:30 today, YES.
Hit the lax ball and foam roller, then did the group warmup. Include gastro/soleus stretch, 1min each leg, and 90/90 box stretch (which is when I noticed my left hip was tighter than my right)
1 minute single leg squat hold, each leg.

5 rounds
400m run
15 OHS @ 65#
=19:17
First time doing this totally RX'd! I'd done the RX'd weight before but only for 3 rounds. Really pleased that I got sub-20. Also made a committment to myself that each run would be unbroken, and they were - although they felt SLOOOOOOWWWWW. First three sets of OHS were unbroken. Could feel fatigue in my glutes from yesterday. Also was pinching something in my left hand that made it get tingly but a few hours later it seems to have gotten back to normal.
After the WOD I had ground turkey and pureed pumpkin w/ ghee.

Nancy (5 rds of 400m run/15 OHS @ 65#)
First time trying this with the RX'd weight but I decided to stick to 3 rounds, just because I'm going to be in the gym a lot for the next couple of days before the wedding.
3 rounds in 14:08
Last time I did 5 rounds @ 45# in 20something, so I'm pretty sure I was on par to match that. OHS were no problem really, did all straight through. The heavier weight did a number on my legs though. The runs were sooooo slow.
After, I decided to try some heavier OHS just to see. Threw 85x3 up with no problem. Ready to go heavy.

First time attempting this RX'd. Done in sets of 5. I feel great about this. RX's girl/benchmark workout COMPLETE.
"Grace"
30 power cleans + push jerks [from the floor w/ 75#]
=9:10
This was harder than I thought it would be. So yeah. I also am a little nervous that I lost count and maybe did a few less than 30.

9/8/10 6am @ CFCC
Sweet Potatoes & Whey + CINNAMON beforehand (OM NOM NOM)
Warmup: full body + some pec stretches, worked on my legs with the Stick.
Strength: Overhead Squat, Heavy triples
35x3, 45x3, 55x3, went for 65 and got this weird stabbing horrible pain at the base of my right pinky finger. Have commenced to googling this and will report back. I'm SO ****ED. I KNOW I can do SO much heavier with these. But I was really excited to get to do them again, I missed them.
Metcon: NANCY
5 rounds for time -
400 m run
15 OHS @ 45#
= 20:06
65# was RX'd - I could have done this. Effing finger. Next time. Was debating whether to even use the bar because of the pain in my hand but I seriously had to, mentally. Ugh.
HOWEVER. I finished it! Last time I did Nancy, it was a world of suck, and the OHS's were what did it. Blurry vision, numb hands, etc. This time the OHS was the EASY part. DAMN THE HAND. The runs were just...you know. Every time I was counting steps and trying to go faster but I am proud to say I did not ever stop! All runs unbroken. All OHS unbroken. Next time this **** is RXd baby.

Nancy WENT. 
It was not my day.
First of all, i was all set to go with my running and my OHSs after watching the 5:30 group basically kill it on all counts. But then I ended up being by myself at 6:30, which is no fun because I'm competing against myself, and myself is a lazy ***.
THEN it started to rain and lightning, and Greg and I were like, okay rain and lightning + giant metal bar overhead is probably a bad decision. So we lugged all the bars upstairs and I commenced to my sub: 500 meters rowing for each 400 meter run. KILL ME NOW.
So I did:
For time, 5 rounds
500 meter row
15 OHS, 45#
I made it through one round and started to get dizzy/blurry vision and numb hands after the OHS. Maybe I was holding my breath too long or something, but it was no good. Fought through the next couple rounds but my rests were SO long between OHS and rowing while I tried to make the spots in front of my eyes stop. Finally Greg told me we were capping it at 25 minutes.
4 rounds=24:40
Ugh. Oh well, as Greg said, it was still 25 minutes of hard work. My poor arms were sore from thrusters the other day, and I know they'll be crying tomorrow. At least I know that my showing HAS to be better next time right?
Moral of the story, I think rowing is way harder than running.
