Trying to get back in the saddle

It has been two weeks since I have done any active training because of illness. Seems like things just arent in my favor for training this year. I am trying to get back in the saddle this week with some training. Because of my own lack of judgment I put myself a few more days behind with sickness.

The other night a buddy of mine invited me over to watch some of the NCAA tournament and play Texas Holdem with some other guys. I have never played before so I thought it would be fun. Of 8 guys starting I managed to stay in the game to one of the last 3 guys. I ended up coming in second which I was happy with considering the guy who won the most money once placed 3rd in a Vegas tournament. It was only a $10 buy in, so what that meant to us was we were the only two to win any money. He won the biggest with over a $40 profit. I won $17 but I figured as long as I didnt lose all my money my first time out I was doing pretty good, especially considering I beat guys that had played more than I ever did.

Anyway, bad part is I ended up being there until 3am. That is not good to a body recovering from sickness and I have felt it the last few days. I have vowed to be smarter and take better care of myself. No more late nights like that for a very long time!

Don't sweat the training session misses. You'll get into the swing of things as your races approach.

Stay tuned...

I agree with Boomer (on everything, pretty much...)
I'll bet you're back in the saddle already.
