Go, you chicken fat, go away!

Some of you know that I'm addicted to Words with Friends.  I love it.  If I could make a living off of playing it, I would.  Within the last 6 months I've learned that you no longer have to pay for using the Word Strength Meter.  The Word Strength Meter lets you know if you're playing the best possible word.  For example, if I put the word LIGER on the board (it's a real word) and it shows me that I could gain 30 points by playing it and then I press the WSM button and the meter only goes half way up, I know that somewhere with my letters I can spell a 60 point word.  So my weekly word average has gone up from around 27 points per word per week to around 33.  Anyway, for the last 30 hours I knew I had a real good word in one of my games, but I couldn't figure it out.  Of course, I could use an on-line word generator, but that would be cheating.  So, I was thinking about my letters during my run, and I thought NOMITIVE.  I'll bet that's it.  So I stopped and tried it, but it didn't work.  I was disappointed.  But I decided to try MONITIVE before I continued with my run.  Eureka!  83 points!  Now I can continue on my day without worrying about what word to play.  Until it's my turn again.

Another brick workout.  I got up at 4:45am and left to go on a ride with Curtis and Kenny at 5:30am.  We headed due east, which is good because it's uphill.  After about 3.5 miles Curtis told us to go on without him because his knee was hurting.  We rode to mile 4 and waited for him.  He said we didn't have to wait for him, so he turned around and we went north for another half mile.  Then we turned around and tried to catch him.  With half a mile to go, Kenny caught him, but I was just a tad behind and got caught at the traffic light.  Since I went less than 10 miles again, I decided to go on a small run.  Wow, my legs felt heavy.  But I need to get in shape because my wife and I are doing the Heroes Run on 9/11.

I thought I was feeling pretty good this morning.  I must've been for the first half mile.  Then it was back to my slogging pace.  I did see 4 bunnies and a bunch of quail.

I ran this race with my wife.  Well, me mostly walked it. 60% humidity.  I'll be drenched for years to come.
