- Off to run an easy 5 miler. It's 9AM and already 83F. Ugh! Should have gotten up at 6AM. Hindsight 20/20 blah blah blah….. #
- @keeponrunning It's nice to see your tune change from one day to the other. It's a true roller coaster, huh? So where's the race report? in reply to keeponrunning #
- Ran 5 miles in 39 mins and felt good. Just another easy 5 miler. I should have gotten up earlier, weather was alread… http://bit.ly/atNOyX #
- Ran 5.06 miles in 33 mins and felt good. Another pace run this morning. I went a good bit faster than marathon pace … http://bit.ly/bcFnmQ #
- Ran 3.02 miles in 22 mins and felt good. Running shirtless in a light drizzle. I usually don't run shirtless but whe… http://bit.ly/cHSgjf #
- Ate egg drop soup and chicken with peanuts for lunch. Haven't eaten stuff like this in ages. Feels good to not care 'bout tracking calories. #
- Oh, the irony… RT @devkl: jesus statue struck by lightning. classic. http://bit.ly/anWqqy #
- Attaboy! @265andfalling: Hydroxycut return receipt
http://twitpic.com/1x2zd3 # - @RunningBecause I'm really turned off by #losingit . Jillian the self proclaimed psychiatrist is such a phony! in reply to RunningBecause #
- I washed all my running gear last night but forgot to put them in the dryer. I'm kind of screwed this morning. Doh! #
- Congrats! Keep it going! RT @JayLoss: I ran a mile non-stop! #
- Ran 4.84 miles in 32 mins and felt great. I had a fantastic/perfect tempo run this morning. It was only a 30 minute … http://bit.ly/aGUBQc #
- RT @keeponrunning: If u feel the need to check the calories in chocolate covered-creme filled honey buns, u prob shouldn't eat them. #
- I'm no longer watching this junk either! RT @RunningBecause @biggestloserlvr: LA Times: #losingit should slow down. http://ow.ly/1Zmb1 #
- I think Kristin needs some friends on @dailymile http://is.gd/cRZhV #
- Rest day. No running today or tomorrow. Getting ready for Saturday's half marathon. Taper is killing me! #
- This morning I went down another notch on my 32" belt. I'm one more notch away from reaching the end of it and having to buy a new one. #
- RT @RunningBecause: Like running? Join me tonight for the second #runchat http://ht.ly/1ZOLP #
- A1: Mainly neutral Brooks (Ghost 2, Launch, T6 Racer) but I just got the Karhu Racer for my half and full marathons. #runchat #
- Participating in #runchat for those of you wondering about my random tweets, lol. Run? Join us! #runchat #
- @halfofjess I'll stick with my shoes, thank you very much! #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- A2: The last pair of New Balances lasted 300 miles. My Brooks T6 Racer will probably die in about 150. #runchat #
- I seem to wear out the outsoles on the asphalt and concrete. But it's OK, shoe's are relatively cheap… #runchat #
- @RunningBecause They're very lightweight, 6oz and not a whole lot of material in them. But that's the whole point. #runchat in reply to RunningBecause #
- @jeninRL the NB is a top of the line cushioned support shoe with lots of material. The T6 weighs half of that and little material. #runchat in reply to jeninRL #
- I prefer lightweight shoes now. I'm not getting another pair of the Ghost either. Too heavy #runchat #
- I rotate 3 shoes. Different shoes for different runs. Long Runs, Tempos and Speedwork each get their own shoe. #runchat #
- @jeninRL I like Brooks. The NB was a stability shoe which I no longer need. My gain is neutral and I lost a lot of weight… #runchat in reply to jeninRL #
- @jeninRL Make that gait, not gain #runchat in reply to jeninRL #
- A3: I'm all about heart rate based training. So my tool of choice is the fantastic Polar RS800cx with footpod + GPS @chrispolarusa #runchat #
- @jeninRL Thanks! I have lost 70+ lbs since last October. #runchat in reply to jeninRL #
- @katdoesdiets Yup, they have two GPS modules, the G1 and the G3. Bit it's only the G3 that does route tracking. You need RS800cx $$ #runchat in reply to katdoesdiets #
- The Polar setup is pretty expensive but I think it's so worth it. I had a 305 before, didn't care for it. #runchat #
- But I don't think there is anything that beats the 305 in price/performance. That stuff is dirt cheap for what you get. #runchat #
- @halfofjess True, but just like with photography better gear never hurts. I'm also a photographer… #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- Oh so true! Especially for the engineer in me RT @hittingmystride: @katdoesdiets @halfofjess gadgets also help motivate at times #runchat #
- @RunningBecause I'm personally a Nikon guy but I have no beef with Canon either. Well maybe their wireless flash system
. #runchat in reply to RunningBecause # - @halfofjess I feel the same way about Canon
#runchat in reply to halfofjess # - @RonisWeigh Polar just released a compatible heart rate strap for @nikeplus Should be a great system. #runchat in reply to RonisWeigh #
- A4: Having your routes tracked is nice. But for me it's about the instant feedback about my HR and pace that I love! Polar > Garmin #runchat #
- @katdoesdiets http://is.gd/cTs8i It's been anounced, dunno about availability. #runchat in reply to katdoesdiets #
- @RonisWeigh I'm 100% sold on heart rate based running. For more info: http://www.runningforfitness.org #runchat in reply to RonisWeigh #
- A4: This is one thing where I don't give a flip about brand. Whatever is the cheapest and fits me. Nike, Mizuno, Adidas, whatever #runchat #
- I actually designed my own shirt: http://www.gregstransformation.com/mullet-shirt-races/ #runchat #
- @halfofjess LOL! You're a budget runner #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- I'm totally decked out in tech gear when I run. I want to run in style! At least I try to back up the look with performance. #runchat #
- @halfofjess I have about 7-8 tech shirts and the same amount of shorts. I only do running gear laundry once a week… #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @halfofjess easy runs: technical tee and shorts. Speed/Tempo: singlet with split shorts. Long run: +nipple guards. Rain: naked #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- A6: Well I just started running this January, so far $2K+ http://www.gregstransformation.com/cost-running/ #runchat #
- @RunningBecause Lucky you! I wear them on anything 6+ miles. #runchat in reply to RunningBecause #
- @halfofjess I do wear shorts but nothing on top. I hate the nipple chafe! #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @RunningBecause So far I've gotten nothing! #runchat in reply to RunningBecause #
- @halfofjess My bad, I should have said shirtless not naked…. #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @halfofjess I bought their coolgear stuff for the winter. It's really nice stuff but again, $$$ #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @halfofjess Nah, goal is to BQ in October. I'm sticking with that one. Running naked is overrated. #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- I sure hope so! RT @hittingmystride: Q6: Id think this first year will be the most expensive #runchat #
- @halfofjess 3:10 for me, yeah. Technically I could call a 3:15 a BQ time as I'd be 35 by 2012 and 10/10/10 would be good for that #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- A7: http://www.runningwarehouse.com/ I check their sale section quite often. You can also google for a team coupon… #runchat #
- @halfofjess I'm not a fan of screen printed tech shirts. Again, chafing…. #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- The only thing more important than BG is moleskin! RT @jeninRL: @TriciaRunning tell me of this bodyglide?!? #runchat #
- @TeamGiles It's still way too hot at 8pm. I run at 6am instead. #runchat in reply to TeamGiles #
- @halfofjess Yeah, it's a man thing. But my wife challenged me with the breastfeeding being more pain. I didn't take the challenge. #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @halfofjess Thanks! I should! My ultimate goal is to run sub 2:40 before I drop dead. #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- A8: I'd still vote my Polar RRS800cx. #runchat #
- @halfofjess Pretty good clip that 2:50. I hope to get there someday. I just want to get a 1:27 Saturday in my half… #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @TeamGiles @jeninRL I have no problem getting up in the morning. It's falling asleep in the afternoon is what the problem is. #runchat in reply to TeamGiles #
- Aw, that's nice! I don't take my kids with me. RT @TriciaRunning: Q8# other than the obvious shoes/bra Id go with jogging stroller #runchat #
- @halfofjess Good luck with it! #runchat in reply to halfofjess #
- @TeamGiles Yeah, as long as I get 5-6 hours of sleep I'm going #runchat in reply to TeamGiles #
- @TriciaRunning I run with my 5yo but I don't count as my training. Running is my "me time" #runchat in reply to TriciaRunning #
- Good chat everyone, I'm off to put the kiddos down… #runchat #
- @TeamGiles I only take water with me if I'm out for an hour or more. Camelbak for long runs, water bottles for the track. #runchat in reply to TeamGiles #
- @TriciaRunning lucky you. My wife is the anti runner… I only run with someone when I go with the running club on Saturdays. #runchat in reply to TriciaRunning #
- Running is a lonely sport otherwise your or your partner is over/undertraining. Unless you're just a perfect match. #runchat #
- @TeamGiles I'n in DFW/TX, It's not exactly dry here either. So it's probably just you #runchat in reply to TeamGiles #
- Another rest day with no running. But it's all good, I'll just really tear it up tomorrow! I'm sitting on pins and needles over here! #
- @katdoesdiets Have you looked at Hal Higdon? http://www.halhigdon.com . He has plenty of free HM plans that are great. in reply to katdoesdiets #
- @BODYGLIDE Is on me every single run! Armpits, feet, butt cheeks, you name it! It's a must for endurance athletes! in reply to BODYGLIDE #
- What are you, a plant or something? RT @265andfalling Water update: over halfway through! http://twitpic.com/1xu9lc #
- Brutal weather fell short of goal http://twitpic.com/1y618d #
- Can you say blister? http://twitpic.com/1y63bv #
- 1:31:20.9 weather ended up hitting 90, not exactly running weather. Fell short of goal but I'm still pleased all considered. Finished 7th. #

- Nothing beats running a half marathon in the morning then taking the family to @SeaWorldTexas and push a stroller for 5+ miles in the heat. #
