Does anyone know of a room/sublet available for the first two weeks of July? Sarah and I have to be out of our place by the end of the month, but our new place isn’t ready yet. My gmail addy is joseph.c.williams.
Thanks.

Early shift this morning (thanks, Margie!)
115, 125, 135, 140f, 140f
After the 135 set my forearms and grip were fried. Liked this one, though.
Then off to Der Schwarze Kölner to watch Germany. Oh! My!! God!!! Thanks to Ashley for being a very good sport.
Sarah says
53 x 3, 58 x 3, 63 x 3, 73 x 3, 78 x 3
Anyone want to give me a ride to Queens for the 5k? (Yes, I know its the SUBWAY series, but 9am is too early for me to take a long ass train ride through 3 boroughs.)
Samir Chopra says
@Ash, Bjorn: Sorry I stood you guys up this morning. I didn’t have your cell#s, else I would have called. Full story when I see you guys next.
Congratulations Bjorn; commiserations, Ash.

Margie says
Today was nearly a boys club day! Good work to my ladies Robin, Katie and Sarah. Oh and the gents too 🙂
Got in 4 attempts during 11am with Nick, which was fun:
63,73,83,88. Might have a couple pounds left in me.
jason says
Fun workout today. I realized I made a little math error in my favor. My max today was 135, not 150. My son had me up at 5:15 this morning, so was a little cloudy.
Robin says
Very sweaty 9am. Learned a lot with this WOD, mainly that getting exhausted makes me think less. Cleans are getting there, very slowly– got to 62 lbs. Major thanks to Margie and Katie!
brian h says
Thanks Margie for a good class. I’m going to steal that lat warm up with the PVC pipe. Good stuff!I made 160 today, and failed on 165. I gotta admit, I hate me a complex. Never fun, they force you to find that deep, dark place way to fast.Good talking to you David and Paul.If you’re ever in Modesto, hit me up.Brian

I listened to the How Stuff Works epigenetics podcast last week… Fascinating and scary. Will check out the NOVA video.
