the half on Sunday was fun. Didn't manage to go as fast as i had hoped over the last 6km cos obviously, but was super-stoked with life within ten minutes of finishing regardless. Came home and a bunch of people turned up to drink beer in the sun and bask in endorphine glow. Rode into town for the prize-giving + recovery leg stretch, rode home later after more beer etc. Monday was recovery, so 10km on the bike, then a 12km run with a few friends, then a ride home (my poor car is being neglected!), then donned my wetsuit and walked down to the beach cos i saw a big front approaching - managed to be in the ocean chaos ducking between weird rips and whitewater as the front rolled on in. Headed home in a hailstorm to spend the afternoon finishing a re-read of the bone people - one of darkest, saddest, and most hauntingly beautiful books i've ever had the pleasure to share my time with. Then good food in front of a warm fire. Today it's a mixture of hail and snow, cheers spring! think it's going to be a poker-grind day. I'm glad i postponed planting out seedlings/seeds until the coming weekend, everything that's already growing should be tough enough to survive this storm. I hope.
Feeling pretty good about poker. Which is weird given results and runbad and playbad over the last couple of months. I've been playing badly and tilt has crept into my game. Decided yesterday to change that. A couple of sessions in and so far so good on the things within my control.
I'm still somehow not life-busto. And it's only a month until i head to thailand for a break from all things online. Hell, maybe ftp will be sorted by the time i get back and those points will have magically become $$ or something. Or not. Definitely not holding my breath.
