Yesterday, 200 Pyra solves, PB average of 100, 6.80 :D. No other PBs though. Was planning to continue but my computer crashed and I lost all the times. This happened last time I did over ~150 solves in one session
 
Today I broke my PB avg of 100 by .44, i was on a roll for these solves
number of times: 100/100
best time: 8.88
worst time: 16.94

current avg5: 11.83 (σ = 0.59)
best avg5: 10.56 (σ = 0.44)

current avg12: 11.53 (σ = 0.70)
best avg12: 11.26 (σ = 0.61)

current avg100: 11.96 (σ = 0.93)
best avg100: 11.96 (σ = 0.93)

Dang, Kevin. You're a second and a half faster than me 0_o
 
The entire two years I've been cubing, I've always used M-slice edge pairing for bigcubes. Well, after large amounts of experimenting with different edge pairing methods for Yau 4x4, I (very hesitantly) decided I was going to start using E-slice 323 pairing for 4x4. For the first couple days of practice, it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. At the start of today, I was averaging roughly 1:00 with this method. After 75 solves today, I finally reached this with E-slice pairing:

48.79, 49.02, (1:00.84), 48.73, 57.61, 52.60, (46.17), 54.19, 52.24, 54.56, 52.09, 56.38 = 52.62

and a separate 48.10 avg5

Hopefully it should only be a few days before I can start setting PB's with this edge pairing method.
 
New PB single with my slowest pll. I couldn't hardly believe the timer when I stopped it, I was stunned.

14.11 seconds:
