Alright, wasn't an official 1/2 Marathon or anything, but today I went for a run that was just over the length of a 1/2 marathon and it felt pretty good. We ran to a nearby city(err not really a city, looked it up and its officially called a community or village, theres about a dozen small villages like this near Waterloo, so rather running through the city and hitting traffic lights, running to different places for each of my long runs seems like a good idea.

My 1/2 marathon race with MPHL is in 3.5 weeks, so I'll probably do a similar length run next week, and then no overly demanding runs for the 2 weeks leading up to the run. MPHL told me he'll run it with me expecting to finish in 1:40 or 1:50 but our run today took 2:05, I have no idea how things will go on race day, I've heard extremely varying information, but I'd be super happy with 1:50, but think 1:55-2:00 is more reasonable.

Last couple days I haven't been up to a whole lot, I played this Sunday, and managed to cash for 8k across 11k buyins without any decent cashes, so as you can probably expect, there was a little bit of disappointment. I've also been playing some NL cash lately, I figure now with being a part of full tilt I'll get more opportunites especially once I'm 21(high stakes poker, poker after dark type stuff) and relearning NL cash is probably a pretty good idea. Its also pretty nice for when I run into cash game players in tournaments to get a better idea of what they are thinking and what types of things they are/aren't capable of. I got holdem manager and WOW its pretty sweet, I feel like it was absurd for me to wait this long to get it.

Other than that, nothing too out of the ordinary has happened lately, our last soccer game was against a team with no varsity team caliber players, but we still lost 0-1. Todays my first volleyball game of the season and its gonna be rough since my legs feel like they could give in at any time. I also saw Star Trek last night, definitely recommend it(although every Trekkie I've talked to hasn't been a fan, every non-Trekkie has thought its awesome... that said you should go see it, since you probably would have already seen it if you are a Trekkie)

To take a slightly different perspective than the previous poster, good luck in some of the TV cash game series. It's definitely a good chance you could get yourself on there especially due to the popularity that the "young internet kids" are having mixing it up with the old timer celebs.

Anyway, good luck with the marathon training!

We'll

I Don't think you are a bad player AT ALL . I Just think that it takes a Very We'll known person to be on TV. That's all i meant. I wasn't trying to say you aren't able to play with those guys. GL at the tables!

A wild guess:
At 16.29 Dr crdjeep got coolered in a huge pot at 0.01/0.02c...At 20.03 he had managed to win his 2,5usd back and was feeling better.
