Splits
Mile 1: 8:45.28
Mile 2: 8:38.61

08:55:57: @kelownagurl You know what though, I didn't much like people in HS, they all hated me. But that was a long time ago, we've all grown up.
08:56:21: @kelownagurl and it would seem the really bad ones were too stupid to figure out computers, so they aren't on things like FB. Or AOL. ;)
08:58:09: @blackfonzie @karrock The same was true of me until FB. But even on FB I don't really "keep in touch". It's more "Oh look, they had a party"
09:00:44: @nturnage yup, that story wasn't very detailed
09:01:31: @steveheath As I said, if I watched it I'd thoroughly enjoy it only to be severely punished and disappointed down the line.
09:05:46: @blackfonzie @kelownagurl @karrock True. One guy I made up with after a 21-year grudge, which is nice. That wouldn't have happened w/o FB
09:06:14: @blackfonzie @kelownagurl @karrock I'd still be wallowing in the bitterness over him getting my ex-GF addicted to drugs back in the day
09:08:25: But you know I've just decided to give up all that crap. I'm too old to carry a grudge for something that happened when I was a kid.
09:12:00: @karrock @kelownagurl Virtually nobody stayed in my town. Area yes, town, no.
09:23:29: @blackfonzie "You mean Ozzy's more than a weird reality show star?"
09:39:43: @brybrarobry No.
09:52:08: @MarthaVan Hey... while not as extreme as some uses, I cleaned up a dirty 7yo after hiking on Saturday with Action Wipes :)
10:13:07: @blackfonzie Did you include your own anecdote about the first time you saw Caligula?
10:14:55: @twittinesis THE HORROR!!! At least you can exclude @ replies. I've had some pretty long blog posts as a result of not doing that hehe
10:15:28: @twittinesis Thank you for Twittinesis btw.
10:26:26: @bucksommerkamp It's not like you can understand him anyway, he was probably saying "boo boo bright, goo blight"
10:26:45: @bucksommerkamp "foo flight, goo blight, doo bite, gah wight"
10:27:44: @bucksommerkamp "Do you feeeel like I doooo?" <YEAHHHHHH!> "So you have hemherroids?" <YEAHHHH!> "Good night, ooh blight"
10:31:58: @bucksommerkamp Oh man I think we discovered a great parody. Or at least a "misheard lyrics" video :)
10:32:58: "Thank you for coming to see the band, now let us play with our little voice changer thingie, oooooo iiiight"
10:33:25: @bucksommerkamp What's hilarious is people just LOVE that thing. I was at a county fair where this band did a cover with the voice box
10:33:52: @bucksommerkamp The band sucked but based on the voice box they had a HUGE crowd and ppl cheered when the guy would go "uhhhh" into it
10:44:18: Double oh crap. My first date suggested I friend my ex-girlfriend on facebook.
10:49:16: @phampants What's funny is had it not been for this one dude suggesting the first girl I never would have known it was them.
10:49:25: @phampants You know how women get married & change their names and all.
10:56:09: @Adora I can't make it to @predevcamp, so could you just send me a copy? Thanks. ;)
10:56:55: @karrock We all hung out together in HS. One day, I swear, I came up to THE TWO OF THEM as they finished a conversation ABOUT ME
10:57:30: @karrock The one I'd went on the date with prior (and prior to the other girl seeing me) said...
10:57:43: @karrock "He already went out with me once, what more does he want?" As I said, I wasn't well liked in HS ;)
11:03:38: @phampants So then you have a drinking problem?
11:09:02: I just gave my boss a vacation request form. He took the opportunity to remind me of everything I need to do. I love bosses.

14:05:19: Back at work, my ex-gf is now my FB friend. Excuse me while I stalk.
14:06:58: Oh nice, her FB status is "Kelly just sent a Butt Smile to 1 friends...."
14:07:29: @Adora @osubrad04 Stores don't know much, that could be totally fabricated. :)
14:10:25: @Adora haha you have a point :)
14:42:10: RT @therealBuzz: Back in DC setting up meetings 2 talk about Space Policy and my plans 2 get us 2 Mars.
14:46:50: MapMyFitness.com: Completed Elliptical. 442 (kcal). 00:45:00
14:47:28: @Oblivion Apparently she's just joined, she only has 6 friends, all of us from HS :)
14:47:55: @Oblivion If you missed the earlier discussion, my first date friended me, then suggested my ex-girlfriend hehehehe
15:02:39: @karrock BOOM! You the man.
15:03:36: @karrock "You are currently viewing one of 's activities" Heh.
15:07:04: @mattcsaki Just wait 'til you eat potato chips while using the phone
15:13:34: @alitherunner While running it helps to ROARRRRRRRRRRRR. That's what @karrock does.
15:18:40: @karrock Cool! :)
15:23:08: @karrock That never works for me, but you're also supposed to subtract the water consumed, which I didn't do. That could help :)
15:24:54: @Snowshadow Once you get into the habit it's no big deal, but I try to automate whenever possible. I wish the Garmin HRM would use HR
15:25:22: @Snowshadow for calorie burning but it doesn't. It does in the latest ones, it'd be a simple addition to firmware but Garmin sucks that way
15:25:47: @Snowshadow So I don't wear the Garmin strap, I use a separate one & manually enter calories burned. I don't get a chart of HR tho.
15:26:23: @Snowshadow I'm such a data junkie it's not funny. Check out some of my hikes to see what I mean. http://gregchance.blogspot.com/
15:37:45: @phampants When I went from community college to state university one day I drove almost all the way to the wrong college. #fail
15:38:26: @Snowshadow Yeah, and the problem for me is not all the sites I use do everything I want... so I have to use multiples
15:39:08: @Snowshadow I like the Sporttracks integration of RunSaturday, but for the blog I like MapMyRun for the sidebar apps & maps
15:39:47: @Snowshadow ppl here keep trying to get me to use the "trendy podcaster's choices" but that's just more work for me, you know?
15:41:56: @Snowshadow I haven't read the latest Wired, what are you referring to?
15:42:31: @Snowshadow I missed it, sorry
15:44:48: @Snowshadow Unfortunately for some reason some of the sidebar apps are failing with Firefox. They work fine in IE.
15:51:34: @Snowshadow does it get the data from nike+?
15:53:01: @Snowshadow poking around I see, you just tell it what you're tracking, then enter it daily
15:54:01: @Snowshadow I could track my Diet Dew consumption!
16:00:21: @Snowshadow I was trying to find an RSS feed, apparently they had one at one time but removed it
16:00:38: @Snowshadow If there was RSS, you could subscribe to it on a sidebar
16:03:19: @karrock Being a caveman, recently unfrozen when researchers found me, I don't know the ways of advanced coding subjects like data base.
16:04:13: @karrock Most of the data I like to track was in BalanceLog on PalmOS, which I wasn't able to get going on the emulator
16:21:01: @Snowshadow I dunno, but I wish you could tag people on outside links (i.e., someone's in a Youtube video or Flickr image).
16:21:26: @Snowshadow Because again, I resent the fact that people are too stupid to click a link to a site outside FB
16:21:50: @Snowshadow I shouldn't have to upload a video to 3 or 4 places because people don't know what flickr is
16:32:46: @sachapman It fails about 1/3 of the time though.
16:56:40: @eveblackorwhite Read all of what? And what the HECK is that avatar?
17:00:55: @ironbrandon Your face is bald!
17:02:41: @ironbrandon About to head home actually, I'll listen to the podcast tomorrow :)
17:05:01: @ironbrandon :-P...................
17:06:58: @ironbrandon I don't think I'll ever be out there but you never know. I'm in northern CA, north of Sacramento.
17:07:12: @ironbrandon Not leaving just yet, I'm dl'ing some podcasts :)
17:07:40: @eveblackorwhite OK help me out here. You just said god. Not God. Little-g god, shouldn't you be able to type that?
17:08:17: @ironbrandon I work in Sacramento, I'm there right now. I'll be running CIM in December.
17:09:51: @ironbrandon California International Marathon, goes from Folsom CA to Sacramento CA. Lots of Twitterers are running it.
17:10:49: Alright not enough time to download this last podcast, I need to go home & take some kids to the park. Later guys, bye @ironbrandon.
18:26:24: http://twitpic.com/cowns - I was happy we threw away the 8-man tent my MIL got us. She bought this as a replacement.
19:01:51: @ginaharris1 No! We only have 5 ppl in our family, this thing's a house!
19:09:20: @PainterNik It was still a great run, good job!

20:14:54: @cdmove You're a little late to the "I hate the #pre commercials" party.
20:20:00: @cdmove Sorry, I misread. You're not late if you enjoy them. :)
20:23:06: @RaceSpeed @calipidder Great picture, great location, I'm jealous :)
20:24:05: @RaceSpeed Thank you, glad nobody minded me sharing the kids playing at the park. They had a daddy hour so mommy could have some alone time.
20:27:46: Watching Torchwood: Children of Earth Day 5... when they say Thames House it always sounds like they're saying Tim's House
20:27:53: @Lowry_Tara retweet
20:43:49: @kelownagurl Speaking of ice cream, it's time for my nightly dose!
20:51:11: @Neumen Hey there!
20:53:05: New post on my blog: CIM Training Day 1: Cross Training: Breaking out the highlighter, I can.. http://bit.ly/eXO0t
20:55:10: @phampants Like that. Wikipedia is your friend.
21:09:49: @athletetraining Don't feel bad, I'm still vague on the whole pivot table concept.
21:44:43: I'm off to bed. Nite all. http://bit.ly/yMiC2
