'School of Wizardry on Facebook'

For all those who do not know, i devote about 15 minutes a day all chopped up spread sporadically throughout my day on the Facebook app School of Wizardry. haha i know this sounds like possibly the nerdiest thing in the world and honestly that's why i started it. As i continue my quest to becoming the greatest wizard, every minute i spent "managing myself" i became more absorbed by the app.

When i started i thought it would be some type of RPG game where you could duel others, but honestly it has no action whatsoever and is a huge turnoff for most. Basically you have energy and health and the goal of the game is to use your energy on lessons that you must complete to obtain a new level. You use your health and stamina to "duel" people, which is merely clicking on duel with some person that you think you can beat, by looking at their followers and their attack and defense. That's the basic overview of the game, there are much more aspect that make it harder, like investing your money in real estate that in the end provide you with more money (it's an investment). Basically if you do not invest, you ll become stuck in the game as you cant afford any of the items (that are needed to do lessons, they become pricier as you go on) to expend your energy on lessons. there are much more facets of the game that I will not describe, but i just thought id share my passion.

People ask me how this is at all fun, it really isnt fun, it's just like running. I do it to compete and succeed. So as they post my world rank, I do my very best to keep climbing the ladder to Wizardry greatness :). Plus, I am all about managing, like in NCAA Football (my favorite video game) unless I am online or have some friends play, I do not actually "play" the dynasty. I just simulate and just do all the management stuff, such as recruiting and setting up the best team for the best situation. So my suggestion is people should try the app haha.

Today was my long run today and finally the end to the longest week i have ever had haha. Gibby was gracious enough to let us sleep in a bit later, im assuming because we have recruits this weekend. We traveled out to York state park and started my 16 mile journey. I ran in a pretty big group for a long run consisting of Pat, Jon, Ben, Sklo, and Adley. Pat and I usually start out together and we have a pretty regular long run route, which i like a lot.

i think we all felt pretty sluggish today, everyone looked kinda slow and flat. My it band wasnt feeling to hot, but not that bad.. as i am writing now, it has gotten worse. i could basically feel it there, but it did not hurt, so much better than yesterday but still not where i want it to be. The only plus was today was a beautiful day from mainly the miserable days of Williamsburg.

Week Mileage: 76.3 miles
