    Didn’t hear “Time” so I was still going strong at 14, but I had checked the clock as I finished round 12 and it was 5:50 and 7:56 when I stopped at 14R+4 PU so I count that as a good work out for Friday a.m.!!

    Great working out with the 7 a.m. crew. Have a great weekend everyone.

      1. Heather S

        This is totally on me, not on you – besides, I’m pretty jazzed that I was so focused that I just kept going, Usually I’m praying for the pain to stop!!

    3. Lora

      Haha Mario! I thought the same thing when I looked at the site this morning. I LOVE Friday QODs! They help me get to know others at CFM a little better. ๐Ÿ™‚

    QOD – Just finished Room by Emma Donogue

    Want to get Jian Ghomeshi’s jmemoir because he’s my boyfriend. (Greg’s good with it)

  14. Sheldon W

    QOD, “Practical Paleo”. I highly recommend this book if you are at all curious about Paleo. I would loan you mine, but, I suspect I will be keeping it close until at least the new year.

  15. Heather S

    QOD – Non-finction – Re-reading Jim Collins “Good to Great” – great focus on excellence ๐Ÿ™‚ Starting “Innovation Reinvented”
    Fiction (young adult) – Ender’s Game series – if you liked Hunger Games try this series by Orson Scott Card

  16. Chantal L.

    QOD – Obvious one, just finished reading practical paleo. I’ve learned so much more from what I already knew about paleo, and I have a whole new perspective of it now. Super pumped. Not sure what I’ll be reading next, any suggestions? I always pick crappy books if I choose them myself! lol

      Ken Follet’s “World Without End” is now a television series – check it out. I’ve just started his Fall of Giants and it looks like another great epic.

      Great QOD Kevin!

    1. Heather S

      That entire series was awesome (Don’t judge the books by the movies – either the Swedish or the Hollywood versions) – they didn’t come close to the books ๐Ÿ™

    1. Sheldon W

      Make sure you tell him he did great and help him up and down the stairs for the next few days. Not kidding, I couldn’t walk for three days after my intro WOD last year.

    2. Lora

      Great job on the WOD, Jenna! That’s a whole lotta pullups!
      Awesome to hear that Luc dropped in AND that he is coming back! I look forward to meeting him.

    Three Rounds
    15 HPC @ 115lbs

    Rx was 135, but, I did cleans for my strength yesterday and the WOD also contained power cleans, so, I backed off a little and went with 60%. It was the right weight, because I was not able to complete the second round unbroken.

    Time: 7:39

    2. Lora

      Great job on the WOD today! Wise choice with 60%. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hope your wobbly front right knee is fixed soon. How is your back right knee?

    Felt great on the wod today, was looking forward to this all day and it didn’t disappoint, was hoping to finish them at the time cap, so was beyond happy when i finished the first 10 in 2 minutes, slowed down as was worried about going to failure and not finishing.. there is room to PR next time! ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. Lora

    QOD: I am on the second book of the Fifty Shades of Gray Trilogy…..BUT, I’ve completely lost interest. I hate NOT finishing something that I’ve started, so I may have to pick it up again this weekend.

    I REALLY want to read “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” (and the others by Stieg Larsson). I have to add those to my growing “wish” list.
