this morning i walked down my driveway and slipped on ice, landed on my arse. Stood up a little sore but fine, and started laughing. Kinda sums up the month
a week ago i was just over 25buyins down at the tables for the month (after a 35buyin downswing, run worse than ever before blah blah whatever shit happens)
i've been low on energy yesterday and today - fighting a cold or something - so i haven't played at all, even though i am within only a few buyins of being in the black at the tables for June. Not playing these sessions when there is pretty much zero chance of a-game is a big thing for me, i'm more proud of that than i am of winning back my losses.
Anyway, i cashed in a bunch of fpps that i had been saving during this month, so still withdrew heaps enough $$. Roll on July.
counting down until a half-marathon in september, training is underway. My first half was the same one 12 months ago and super-slow 1hr 50, this time i'm aiming to go a little faster, 1hr 35 is what i'm trying for, might be optimistic but it's not unrealistic if i get the running in between now and then. It's still nothing special, but i don't think i'll have a 1hr30 in me (1hr 30 is some sort of benchmark time for recreational runners)
then after the half i'm off to thailand for some good food. Between now and then there is a whole lot of poker to be played, good food to be eaten, surfing and climbing to be done, live music to see, people to hang out with, life to be lived. Things are still remarkably good, although i'm broker than i've been in years. Less than six months worth of money sitting in reserve in my bank accounts. Time to remedy that. Game on.
