Book Club Reminder
This Month’s CFSBK Book Club book is…. “A Visit From The Goon Squad” by Jennifer Egan.
Jennifer Egan’s spellbinding interlocking narratives circle the lives of Bennie Salazar, an aging former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Although Bennie and Sasha never discover each other’s pasts, the reader does, in intimate detail, along with the secret lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs, over many years, in locales as varied as New York, San Francisco, Naples, and Africa.
The discussion meet up will be on Sunday, June 3 at 5pm.

I'll be there for Murph. Don't know what to bring yet. Maybe I'll just pick up some fruit, that always tastes good after working out in the heat.
the link to the Murph page is incorrect. if you want to see the page, go back to the 5.24 post.
Links fixed!
Thanks to Noah and Josh for letting me jump into the 10am class today.
6:47 rx'd.
-First round done in about 45 secs, but then shit got real. Deadlifts felt really heavy after that first round. hspu's all kipping and unbroken. c2b all unbroken except last round in 2's. burpees were the hardest part and mine weren't strict.
-legs are still fried from Morrison but I really enjoyed this wod.
I really dig this WOD. Rx'd in 4:20. I tried the technique that Jeremy used last time where you burpee your way from the pull ups to the deadlifts but Noah called bullshit on me! Thanks McD for keeping me on track and calmly letting me know where I was.

Felt like a good warm up for Murph, short and intense.

5:50 Rx with coach Margie at 8. Slow, but HSPU broke down on the 4th round and I did my best to take my time approaching the bar for deads since I didn't want things to get too ugly. LookIng forward to murph on Monday for some strange reason.

11am with Noah and Josh. Big thank you to both of them for the extra attention at my first group class! It was nice to realize I hadn't forgotten absolutely everything from Foundations….
WOD
7:17 [DL @ 175 / DB press @ 30 / green band]
A really fun and challenging first workout, as well as lesson in scaling. 175 was just enough weight for the DL — enough to be challenge and force the issue on form, but not enough to cause anything to break down too bad. Will ratchet things slowly up from here. Smart choice to stay at 30s for the press, as the shoulders were feeling it by round 4. As for pull-ups, I should've used the band the whole way through instead of trying a round of pull-ups without it.
Making me think about what would be an appropriate scaling option if I make it in on Monday.
whoever bought donuts to the box today better not meet me in a dark alley.

This actually wasn't that bad and a real fun workout. My handstand pushups broke down quick. After doing all of them unbroken 1st rd I was shocked I couldn't do more than 1 second rd. the pushups from the BurpeesBut hit my triceps hard. Lesson learned for next time
