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! #

10:51 @OTD_Colonel Lost, Charlie Pace, Driveshaft. You all everybody! tinyurl.com/3b3khy #

11:05 One of the badges my son will get for Cub Scouts is for attending a sporting event, or at very least watching one. It has to be the group. #

11:05 I've been tasked with recording said event. So last night I was watching MMA... #

11:54 Huh. Someone with the last name of Chance decided to follow me. #

13:10 Off to the gym for some non-running cardio. Wish me luck. ;) #

19:43 Well watch it, it's neat ;) #

19:55 It's still bugging me how a 1-hour episode of 24 is taking 3 hours to transfer to the computer. #

19:59 Repositioned the tivo's wireless adapter, went from 3 hours to 1:45 :) #

20:05 I don't watch Friday Night Lights, no. #

20:13 switching to the laptop, on the couch. The lazy place, I'll sit on my butt while watching contestants work their butts off. #

20:25 Oh man was I ever sweating during that spin DVD today. I was shocked at how much, it was just about pouring off my wrists hehe #

20:26 I also really didn't start blogging much until after I lost weight. During the loss I didn't for some reason. I really wish I did. #

20:29 "Twitter problem, please try again." Wow. #
