From Twitter 07-25-2009



  • 02:21:46: New post on my blog: From Twitter 07-24-2009: 06:11:58: Wt: 177, RHR: 51, BF: 18.2%06:23:19:.. http://bit.ly/11pGFU
  • 08:05:40: Wt: 177, RHR: 48, BF: 17.7%
  • 08:20:46: @Neumen I measure my RHR as soon as I'm mentally able to think about it, right after waking up
  • 08:21:17: @Neumen I usually have to take it a few times, because my wife will toss & turn and make the bed bounce, raising my HR a bit hehe
  • 08:22:02: @Neumen Those HR watches with the finger sensors suck for exercise but work great for a morning HR, it beats wearing a strap al lnight
  • 08:22:28: This morning I set my alarm and was going to run at 6am. I just got out of bed, I don't think I'm gonna make it.
  • 08:24:24: RT @gabeanzelini: @rt3rmin nice.... I added a biblegateway search provider to the browser dropdown from sctratch #pre - great idea! which 1?
  • 08:26:59: @Neumen How do they not apply to you, do you mean for training zones? Because zones are very person-specific, charts are very general
  • 08:28:06: @Neumen Don't forget about perceived effort. If you run and feel like you're about to die but your HR is 140, then adjust accordingly
  • 08:28:53: @Neumen Like for me, I don't feel like I'm getting a "good" workout until above 150, I try to keep between 155 & 160 when I'm "working hard"
  • 08:29:41: @Neumen If I go with the 65-85 thing I should be around 145, the only problem is that I'm running about 12 min/mi if I do that
  • 08:31:23: @Neumen I tend more to wear it not for training zones, but to track calories burned. I'd probably be better off using it for training.
  • 08:37:15: @Neumen If your HRM is anything like mine though, it takes about a mile to "warm up". Mine usually shows 200 when I just start
  • 08:37:36: @Neumen Which is in no way accurate :)
  • 08:39:17: @DonGeronimoShow I'm Don Geronimo and you're not. Generalissimo Frederico Franco is still dead, goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.
  • 08:39:48: @Neumen Is yours the strap for the 305? If so, wear it all night sometime and see what the chart looks like.
  • 08:49:11: @Neumen Does the 405 track running while in sleep mode? If there's data going to it, it should still track.
  • 08:49:24: @smellycents See? Lush!
  • 08:49:41: @smellycents You & @TLM26, I'm tellin ya
  • 08:50:24: @ironbrandon Do you listen to iRun the Running Show? Ray Zahab casually mentioned he runs 14k a week barefoot hehehe
  • 08:50:47: @ironbrandon I just can't imaging it. That ground is hard.
  • 08:51:08: @ironbrandon As my mom put it, I'm like the princess & the pea, I haven't been able to even walk barefoot since I was about 7
  • 08:51:17: outside anyway
  • 08:51:35: RT @jhartikainen: I hope Palm integrates MSN to #Pre, like it has done w/ AIM and GTalk - I agree
  • 08:52:11: @jhartikainen They probably need an agreement with MS, they had MSN integration in the Treo 755p (not constant login though)
  • 08:52:45: @LinkedInBrian It's not #Sprint's fault per-se, it's the cell phone industry's fault. They unequivocally screw longtime customers.
  • 08:54:55: @ironbrandon I could handle that, or the grass, but not on asphalt or cement, gahh
  • 08:55:35: @smellycents You ran 185 miles? (I know the answer to that one)
  • 08:56:07: @sharkims Move them around. If you hold your finger on an icon until it highlights, you can drag it to any page @palm #pre
  • 08:59:06: @Neumen No, he means barefoot.
  • 09:00:19: @innismir I've found porting #'s take 15 to 20 minutes. They tell you 2-4 hours in case something happens (as with anything else)
  • 09:02:00: @fridayluv thanks for the Saturday #ff love :)
  • 09:02:52: Alright, I'm off to run 5 miles. In shoes.
  • 10:30:44: Ran 5.1 miles on RunSaturday - http://www.runsaturday.com/tabId/64/activityId/115746/Default.aspx
  • 10:38:24: Leave it to Mapmyrun.com to break not only their importer, but the export to Twitter as well.
  • 10:40:45: OK, off to the shower.
  • 11:07:34: @Skittlesdfw It likely works like the old mind control Atari 2600 controller
  • 11:10:42: Off to the potluck/BBQ. Wish me luck! ;)
  • 11:15:53: False alarm, my wife is making muffins that won't be done for another 5 or 10 minutes
  • 11:16:49: @ginaharris1 Thanks, it was a perfect day for it. I didn't feel any pain during and did a good amount of stretching after, plus foam roller
  • 11:17:01: @ginaharris1 About 20 minutes later I felt it, not too bad though
  • 11:17:25: @Skittlesdfw Hey when's the Lost panel?
  • 13:37:29: @chuq You sound like me, I love the end results but never want to make blog entries hehe
  • 13:42:02: @AnnRan5 I want to take the kids but no $. Sucks to be us! Hehehe
  • 13:49:44: @Ali_Sweeney With Twitter you're converting the daytime drama crowd to fitness junkies, Jillian will be proud!
  • 14:03:25: @Neumen @smellycents I do, but anyone who knows me knows I'd do that w/o social networks anyway. It's part of who I am.
  • 14:13:11: @leggersheri Gadgets. They're a thing of beauty.
  • 14:24:32: @smellycents I'm a Borg runner. Resistance is futile.
  • 14:28:26: http://twitpic.com/bm91r - He's my son? Yeah, he is.
  • 14:53:55: New Flickr upload: He's my son? Yeah, he is.: Gregoriopolis posted a photo: http://bit.ly/G1l0H
  • 16:41:32: RT @funnyordie: Look, it's the guys from "Hurley Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning." #sdcc http://twitpic.com/bmmca - SCARY!
  • 21:06:29: After a 3-hour nap, I feel great! Now watching Torchwood: Children of Earth Day One
  • 21:07:47: @mchwang Hey, have you been able to turn off the wi-fi tether & re-enable standard wi-fi without a reboot? @palm #pre
  • 21:27:04: @MarthaVan Listen, when the deposed king of Nigeria asks for money, you respond!
  • 21:31:16: Well this bites, I had just assumed Dish Network would have carried BBCA in HD once it went live. I was sorely mistaken. :(
  • 21:59:49: RT @coachpenguin NEW blog post: Being A Running Coach Doesnt Mean You Have to Be Perfect, http://digg.com/d3ybbn?t - everyone digg it up!
  • 22:04:32: @coachpenguin you won't be dugg much tho... your blog's not technology oriented
  • 22:10:46: RT @alyankovic: http://twitpic.com/bo6gl - Objet d'art du jour - I want one! hehehe
  • 22:13:30: @ginaharris1 Since I just watched 1? NO! :)
  • 22:20:10: @ginaharris1 You know, it aired a while ago. If I get spoiled it's my own fault, but I do try to avoid it if possible hehe
  • 22:30:34: @ginaharris1 I just haven't watched TV in a week or so. I wanted to watch a couple episodes in a row but my wife was ready for bed
  • 22:31:10: @ginaharris1 I was exhausted so I took a 3-hour nap late in the day (5:30pm). Well now I'm wide awake. :)

  • 22:41:21: @sam2579 That made no sense. :)
  • 22:44:51: @sam2579 What @Paulone was saying. There were so many abbreviations that the meaning was completely lost.
  • 22:48:21: @sam2579 Have you tried #Twee? I think it's better than #Spaz personally.
  • 22:51:14: @sam2579 ah ok
  • 22:51:42: @RobertCristie It may be a fear, but at least you remember the most important part.
  • 22:54:34: @sam2579 #Twee's getting there, it's missing features that others need but I don't. I was preferring Spaz but have gravitated towards Twee
  • 22:54:58: @sam2579 Tweed has both of them on speed. It's fast, I usually run it to send a quick tweet & not linger
