I got behind a day on the 100 burpee challange, but I caught up this morning. Today I have to do 32. I think I am getting stronger. I will knock them all out in a row tonight.

There is big movement in MBIA this morning in pre-market. My options have really paid off. I might be able to sell them soon to pay off some debt.

I am getting back into the swing of crossfitting. I have been designing my own workouts lately just so I can concentrate on pull ups. I may do this another two weeks just to see if I can get improvement. My plan is to do Mon Wed and Fri with high reps 50-100 pull ups per day with Tues and Thurs dedicated to weighted pull ups and dips. I also am on day 31 of the 100 burpee challenge. The burpeess are getting hard.

Chris and I went for a ride last night on the new trail at the park. It was a blast. Mainly it was fun because it was short and fast. We were really able to bomb it. It is up hill about half way and then down hill the other half. There is only on climb that is difficult, and even that isn't too bad. I think I want to try my single speed on that trail. I am going to give it a try.

I had a great night on the virtual felt. I won a HORSE SNG and I won 26 in NLHE. I won the NLHE money by calling an all-in bet with a pair of tens. I raised to 10x's the BB after two limpers and a player after me raised me the size of my bet. I was getting 3-1 so I made the call planning to bail to a scary flop. The raiser was pretty aggressive, so I figured I might be good. The flop came jack high. I checked and so did he. I didn't know where I was at this point. He either had an overpair or two high cards. Another rag hit on the turn and I checked again. This time, villain fired a bet that put me all-in. I had put close to 1/2 my stack in already. At this point I figured I was either way ahead or way behind. I had already saw this guy bully me out of pots. Given what I saw, my feeling was that I was not behind 50% of the time, so I called the bet to double up. After that, I had a few more good breaks.

I did fall a day behind on my burpee challenge. I will have to make it up tonight before my meeting

100-Burpee Challenge

Today is day 22 of the 100 Burpee Challenge. I am so far on track. It is much easier now to do all burpees on the appropriate date as it would be difficult to do so many in a day.

I passed my TKD test. I am now a yellow belt. I did well in my form and my one-steps. Given that I was way behind in my classes, I am happy to have this testing cycle behind me. I will now be head of the "beginners" group. I now need to learn the oaths.

I also ran the "Beat the Heat" race this weekend. I ran it in a kilt, which was pretty funny, if I do say so myself. But, my calves are now killing me. I do not know if it was the camber of the road or some other reason, but I am am pain now.

I slept in this AM, hopefully I can make it to the gym tonight.

Golf at Oakmont was a blast. I did not play very well, but I did par the hardest hole, number 1. I hit a perfect Tee shot, a good 2cd shot and 2 putted. It was unreal

OMG, I get (have) to play Oakmont today. I am kind of scared shitless. I am not a great golfer, really I am quite bad. This is one of the toughest courses around and I am expected to play it. At least it is unexpected as I probably wouldn't have slept last night knowing I had to play it. It will be interesting to see how I do.

I had a good night of poker last night. I won a 5.5 HORSE SNG and I also won 5 in a NLHE game. I have gotten away from playing as much and tracking. I will start tracking again in earnest as I attempt to build my bankroll back up to $1,000 by year end. I need to win $100/month. I think I can do it.

I missed TKD last night as I was at my previous job doing some training and some pension work. I will be really short on classes, but I know all my stuff. Tonight I will go and it will be my 11th class in the cycle.

I now am behind the 11 12 and 13 days in the 100-burpee challenge. I will be sure to get them done tonight.

The big vote is over

It went as I expected. We voted 5-2 to implement an overlay district. The crowd at the council meeting was pretty unruly, but we did what we said we would do. My political future now hangs in the balance. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I am behind in my 100 burpee challenge. I owe 8 from Monday and 10 from wednesday and must do 11 today. Maybe I can do 18 before Tae Kwo Do and then the 11 tonight. Then I really need to keep with it.

Too much to drink

I have noticed an unhealthy trend lately. I appear to drink more than the people I am with. While golfing yesterday, I drank more than everyone I was with. Of course I feel like crap today because of it. Also I made some ridiculous claims because of the beer, wtf? Who am I trying to impress? Myself maybe. In any case, it is now time to ratchet back the booze.

I am on day nine of the 100 burpee challenge. I did today's nine, but I still owe for yesterday's 8. I will do those later.
