The Regular Non-Uber Monthly 4219.5 Cube Marathon!!!!

Just noting that I included my untimed solves because there was no way for me to sit at the computer for that much time everyday to make the full 4219.5 solves in a month. I have to spend some time some other places that are not at the computer. A lot of them were full speed solves too.

I'm thinking I might join this again after New Year's to motivate me to practice. I would be joining with Roux. Just want to make sub-30 with Roux. Also want to say that after the 3x3 marathon I completed, I took a bit of a break and came back faster. I think it works well to take a break after a period of "intense" practice.

So, I didn't do it in a month. :( I will be continuing on from this, but for now, I'm taking a break from 3x3 to concentrate on other puzzles. So for now, I'm pausing the marathon, and will probably continue on in January/February.
 
How relaxed? Scramble, solve cross, inspect, start timer, do F2L, stop timer or solve whole cube as fluent and non-choppy as possible?

Scramble, inspect, start timer, solve F2L (cross included), stop timer. Aim for fluent and non-choppy... no pauses. I never solve the whole cube though when doing this as I would be practicing with white cross only.

Day 1

Could have done a lot more solves if I didn't start in the middle of the day. Once school starts, I might have some trouble.

210 timed solves + 10 untimed solves

times:
