07:34 Dang, once again, something comes up that I want to tell my friend Jim about, but can't because he died. :( #

07:35 Anyway, the item is a USB turntable, Jim had like 500 LP's or something #

07:36 Hey, I should send a tweet to his old account :) #

07:40 You know, I wish that I had Jesse's girl. #

10:44 Wow, great issue of Backpacker, but I don't think I'll be casually backpacking to Everest Base Camp. #

14:38 Ran the treadmill today, first run since Sunday #

14:39 I feel really good, but we'll see how I feel later today #

14:39 I went 5 mins ea: 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 7, 6, 5 mph... 40 mins total #

14:40 4.25 miles, 485 calories #

15:09 Logic dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. #

19:14 At Urgent Care. Not for me, for my wife, who's having an allergic reaction. #

19:16 Thanks, @dslunceford #

19:22 @dskunceford Dual-use tweet! I was thanking you for the predev follow RT. #

19:22 ok, I suck. #

19:32 She's opting for a cortizone shot. She's braver than I, I was tempted to see the doc about my problem. But I'm not. #

19:38 Should I take a picture of my wife getting a shot in the butt? #

20:21 BP 116/71. Cool. :) #

20:23 In 2003 it was 160/90. #

21:30 While at Rite-Aid I finally picked up an Omron body fat reader, I'd been meaning to do that for a long time #

21:30 The last time I used one of these was at the Turkey Trot expo back in November (same model) #

21:33 It was 13/6% back then, now it's 16.6%. Odd that, considering I'm down a notch on my belt. :) #

21:53 RT @MarthaVan: Has anyone noticed how Carl's Jr added more boobs to their steak sandwich commercial? - that's a problem? #

Treadmill Recovery Run - 4.25 miles

Wow, have you guys noticed how my daily tweets have been the only thing that's gotten posted to my blog? Sorry about that, but I've just been so busy the past few days, coupled with not running, that I just haven't posted. Then to top it all off, Loudtwitter screwed up and output ALL my tweets and didn't filter out the @ replies.

Anyway, today I decided to run the treadmill as a recovery run to see how it would go. I ran 5 minute intervals, the following speeds:

1: 5mph
2: 6mph
3: 7mph
4: 7.5mph
5: 8mph
6: 7mph
7: 6mph
8: 5mph

It didn't go too badly, I ran for 40 minutes and burned 485 calories. It really felt good to be running, but my right leg was still a bit stiff. This evening my knee is a bit achy, but again, not too bad.

I also have a funny story. On the treadmill, when I got to 8mph a guy running another treadmill started giving me looks and finally said, "DANG, are you training for a marathon or something?"

I said, "As a matter of fact, yes." He started stumbling over his words, and said something like, "Oh, uh, I was just, uh, kidding, but cool, good for you. You're wearing me out just watching you run." Then he stopped his treadmill and left.

Did I say something?

07:48 @SoloRunner Are you surprised at having no voice? It was going last night. Sucks that it happened though. #

07:48 good morning everyone :) #

07:56 @TwilightEarth I'm sure Action Wipes are better for babies than, say, Clorox wipes. Once I accidentally wiped our baby's butt with one! #

07:58 RT @treocentral: Sprint EOL Document Reveals Treo 755p to be Replaced by Palm Pre: tinyurl.com/ddog7r - Well, duh :) #

07:59 @MrThirteen If that's not the height of laziness, I don't know what is :) #

08:00 Ooh here we go... #

08:00 RT @MrThirteen: RT @gchance: good morning everyone :) #

08:02 @TwilightEarth I cleaned her up real quick, but I was worried for a bit. That was a few years ago. #

08:02 @TwilightEarth BTW are you as annoyed as I am at wipes? My wife loves them but they just pile up. My parents never needed wipes. #

08:17 @rodmur That's an awesome photo. If you can find Yo Yo Ma, he's taking a picture with his cell phone. :) #

08:22 @rambn The walmart trip is worse :) #

08:28 Why must WordPress show a thumbnail for every single link you pass the mouse over? Gah. #

08:31 @VBrown All Pier 1 stores, or selected ones? #

08:33 @VBrown I just found it, they're eliminating 125 jobs and possibly some (not all) stores #

08:34 Pier 1 making cuts: tinyurl.com/abfy8n #

08:34 @VBrown Ack, 125 STORES, not jobs #

08:45 @MarthaVan Did you see my earlier tweet about Action Wipes being better than Clorox wipes? :) #

08:49 @MarthaVan I blame my wife, she was repackaging wipes into baggies #

08:54 @MarthaVan What's interesting is he didn't refuse it. I can't see a baby immediately enjoying it. #

09:19 @metalman777 I heard Poison on the way to work this morning #

09:35 @FanOfLee What plan have you been going by? #

09:39 @jfietzer Was he tweeting at the time? #

09:52 @FanOfLee Cool. As far as I know though Atkins doesn't limit calories, how much were you taking in per day? A woman needs AT LEAST 1200/day #

09:52 @FanOfLee And that's bare minimum. If you're exercising you'll need a whole lot more. #

10:02 @FanOfLee Did you read the whole Atkins book? #

10:03 @FanOfLee Losing weight & being healthy is a lot more than eating less. Sometimes you need to eat more believe it or not. #

10:06 @Ingersoll Hah without clicking the link I knew exactly what you were talking about. That's such an odd awesome story hehe #

10:07 @Ingersoll And you know the clerks didn't say "...a sword from star trek called a batleth", they just said a batleth #

10:32 @FanOfLee Atkins & South Beach aren't all that different. South Beach is much more rounded and lets you eat a lot of other stuff though. #

10:32 @FanOfLee Where is your blood sugar these days #

10:34 @FanOfLee This is the plan I lost my weight on, I *highly* recommend it. Lean For Life: tinyurl.com/ats3ka #

10:34 @FanOfLee That said, you do need to follow it to a T with NO substitutions, otherwise you can't expect it to work. #

10:35 @FanOfLee But when I started my blood sugar was >210 and I had high blood pressure. Both are under control now. #

10:48 @OTD_Colonel You all everybody! #
