45 STM. Nothing good, nothing bad.

Edit: Through the cancellation R' r = M', which is not necessary for CMLL, so here is a better one:

40 STM.

I got a new PB! 12.91 seconds. I wasn't even expecting it when I dropped the cube, I thought the timer had broken. A pretty easy first block, pretty good second block and a 3 move lse did it, I think. I'm not sure if this is completely accurate, but I just can't recreate it ;__;

42 STM but this solve was cool because I broke the second block Rouxles. And CMLL+EO case I knew :D

New to roux. I probably average over 70 moves in speedsolves.

M' U' M2 F L2 F2 U' B //FB (8/8)
U' M' U Rw2 U2 R' U R U M' U M2 Rw U R' //SB (15/23)
U2 F R U R' U' F' / U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' //"CMLL" (21/44)
M' U' M' U' M U' M' U2 M U2 M' U' M' U2 M' //LSE (15/59)

The first block was pretty lucky.
 
z2 y R' B' D' L B D' F r' F // FB (9)
U' r U r U2 R2 U' R2 U2 R U' r' // SB (12)

M2 U' M U' M U' M2 // UL/UR (7)
U' M' U2 M' U2 // L4E (5)

44 stm, one can reduce to 43.

Got a great cancellation between second block and CUL today, 43 STM.

Scramble: L2 U2 F R2 U2 F' R2 B' R2 B D' B' L D R' F2 L R' F'

z' R D2 R' D2 B' M2 r B' -first block. 8 stm.
r' U R M U' M2 U R U M U2 M' -second block, cancels into CUL so last pair not inserted. 12/20 stm.
U R U L' U R' U' l -CUL, last move adjusts M slice. 8/28 stm.
U2 M U' M' U' M' U2 M U' M2 U' x M' U2 M' U2 -L6E. Rotation reduces move count. 15/43 stm.

I am a total newb; this is my first time to do an Example Solve. I started using the Roux Method just a month ago. Any advice/tips would greatly be appreciated.

y2 U2 F' L2 U2 M2 L' U L // First Block
r' U R' M' U R' U2 R2 U M' R' U R // Second Block
U' F R U R' U' F' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // Headlights, J Perm
M' U M U2 M U M' U2 M2 U2 M // Last Six Edges

First block:
y2 U2 F' L2 U2 R2 r F

Otherwise it is pretty good!
