New Year, New PR

So, my first workout of 2015 was today and I am proud of myself.

Backing up, a few weeks ago (Thanksgiving weekend), my husband and I spent the holiday break in Binghamton, NY. It was great to spend time with the niece and nephews, see family and enjoy a snow fall. It snowed a lot! I made the husband go for a walk in the snow because we needed to get out. On one of our walks, I fell. Slipped on the ice and landed on my knees. I thought nothing of it until a week later and we did some back squats (heavy) and then I couldn't walk after that. I was seriously limping. Since then, I have been babying my knees. Lots of light weights, no jumping, no running, etc. It has been nice. I have also seen my chiropractor and acupuncturist.

So, today's pre-wod: back squat 1 rep max.

I really wanted to know what my max is since I have been taking it easy.
I worked with some boys and I hit 205! A lovely new PR (up from 195). Oh how far I have come.

Then we did the workout:
Jenny- 20 min AMRAP
20 overhead squats (45lb)
20 back squats (45lb)
400 m run

I finished (barely) 3 rounds and I rx'd it. Jenny was the same weight for boys and girls. I got smoked a few times but I finished it. Damn proud about that.
