Yet another portrait of progress: a long time ago, before we painted the garage or even did the floor, Eileen was learning how to go overhead. Think she's seen some changes?
WOD:
Northeast Qualifier WOD 1
AMRAP 12 minutes:
7 Thrusters 135 / 95
10 Burpees
This WOD is not about managing the workout – this WOD is about reckless abandon. You should be laying on the ground writhing when you are done. Focus on form, use the big muscles, and bring it hard.
As we count down the The Playground’s one year anniversary, we’re having a good time digging through old pictures and finding some good ones of people from the beginning. A true statement for The Playground as a community, the athletes, and the coaches: we’ve come a long way, baby!
This week’s schedule:
Monday = 5:15AM, 9AM and 5PM
Tuesday = 5PM
Wednesday = 5:15AM, 9AM (NO EVENING SESSION – ITS WILL’S B-DAY)
Thursday = 5PM
Friday = All sessions
Saturday = Off
Sunday = 9:30AM to 11:00AM

Is that Eileen? Glad you lost the frump …now you are a Hot Mama! I hope you threw away those sweats, you won’t be needing them again.
OK, last time I did this WOD 6 months ago, I had to break the 95 lbs into clean and jerks, couldn’t even do the thrusters.
November 29th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Oh yes i remember this WOD.. 95LB is a lot of weight to be throwing around overhead – even for 70′sbig! hehe.
i am a little too tired this morning. out partying it up 80′s style. Will certainly does have fun friends – good times.

yeah when they first announced the NEQ WODs they had it as 7 thrusters and 15 burpees AMRAP – 12 MINUTES. But apparently people who did this WOD previously as 5/10 complained to the guy running the Qualifier and they changed it – claiming it was a typo….
