Scams

as many of you know i participate rather vigorously in "School of Wizardry." Well, i was trying to make a significant move in my standing so i was perusing around the site looking for a deals that i would do for an significant boosts. There are a bunch of little bitch ones that are legitimately free with no drawbacks and there are other ones that you have to pay for, as well as ones where you have to sign up give your credit card information but it's free trial until "x" numbers of days are done and than you start paying a monthly rate. So i found two of these "big boost deals" one was Identity Guard for 30 days and Gamefly for 10 days. So i signed up no trouble there, however i first signed up for gamefly and after waiting for about an hour, i still had not gotten my boost. So i looked up the deal and i saw that it could take a day or two, so i decided to sign up for Identity Guard, as well. After giving away my SSN :/ and credit card information i received immediately my boost (Yes i am this "addicted" to reaching the top haha). Well i was telling some teammates about it, basically just joking around how lame i was being with this game and they were of course disgusted with me, but also a little worried that i would get scammed.

Later that night, i went onto my bank's website to see my balance and make sure everything was okay and sure enough, Gamefly stole 40 dollars! and Identity Guard took a dollar. This shocked me and i immediately called up both sites, Gamefly was closed for the night, but i did get in touch with Identity Guard and immediately canceled. they kept asking why i was cancelling and what not. I did not want to say i was using them for a facebook harry potter game, so i blamed it on my parents saying that i acted rashly and without my parent's consent. The lady was like well you have not even gotten your credit report and i was just like sorry they want me to cancel it no matter what. "But you just started today?" "Look i really cant do it, so i would appreciate it if we could get on with this!" (yea i had to use some sass, but the lady was not getting it). So i got my dollar back there, after debating with this woman for 10 minutes.

The next day i saw that i could cancel my gamefly subscription online, but i had not received my boost yet for it so i decided to wait hahahaha. (To my defense i was pretty confident no matter what i would get my money back, since these were well acclaimed businesses and not shady enterprises), but however it was still being reckless. As my day progressed i received my boost in turn immediately cancelled and got my guap back. "Today was a good day." It was definitely worth the debacle and i have not learned my mistake yet, be prepared for me to loose 200 dollars through this game, but i will be in the top 100 by the end of the month if i keep it up!

Actually woke up this morning and got my breakfast of an omelet and danish. Did you know that there is two ways to spell omelet, omelette? Weird. Well i am not going to go through my day, since i actually talked about something for once.

SWO (Secondary Workout) actually went fairly well. I had a 30 minute pace run and we went to the Rec Loop. So when we started, i started rather conservatively for the first half mile, but than we started to pick it up. I was not feeling great, but felt powerful (not smooth, but i definitely had my legs under me). Grey was out like a bat, as usual, but Pence went somewhat with him which is out of characteristic followed by Sagar and my group, of Adley and Pete. My splits were 5:17, 5:21 (very windy), 5:13, 5:11, 5:04. Everyone but Jon Grey and I stayed on the rec loop, as people went elsewhere since no coach was supervising the workout.

I ended very strongly and felt good, my arms are still a little out of control, but im hoping it's all a work in progress. Afterward i had to use the facilities extended my cool down to 30 minutes, as i was in a awkward spot to get to the bathroom and than again on the farthest point of the rec loop to cool down.

Once i was back at the track, i recovered with a mix of cliff bar and endurox. I stretched a good bit and iced afterward. Everything felt pretty good cept for my shin, which was little shaky. My calf actually felt good and i might have worked that problem out, but my shin is still hurting a tad and i am just hoping it's nothing having to do with the bone and can be fix with the right steps to recovery.

Total mileage: 14 miles
