News from the week:

• Alex H. nailed a 200lb overhead on the "Work Your Stuff" skill day yesterday. That's a 46lb PR and puts him well over body weight. Sweet!
• Bobbie Garcia can now do jackknife pushups on the rings at age 60+. Sweeter Still!
• Another one of our "Boomers", Bob Higgens, has fallen in love with lifting. It's early on but we're expecting him to make swift progress.
• Cruz Rocha, is putting what we lay persons will call a "Big Time" pectoral tear and surgical repair behind him. He just banged acheived his ring dip goal and a muscle up on top of that.
• Holly Atherly can squat. 102 times in bottom to bottom tabata squats. Way to go Holly!
• Erica B. is coming off the bands. She's determined to get off them. The sooner the better. This should be everyone's attitude.
• Sarah P. is starting to string together kipping pull-ups in large amounts. It's just a matter of time and the muscular endurance will be there to destroy WODs like Angie and Barbara and pull-up ladders.
• Sarah C. had a good week with a 4:44 Rx'd Grace and a 10:58 Jackie
• Maiya demo'd how to cool down an arm with the king of beers and showed good speed in the runs this week.
• We have a chalk angel on the floor leftover from a CF Holiday Card shoot.
• Brooks proved he can bang out ring dips in large volumes. Muscle up next Brooks!
• Max L. banged out Randy for the first time ever - Rx'd. That's a PR Max!
