    When someone says to me, "your run tweets are boring" I hear "the most important part of your staying mentally strong + happy is boring" :)

        @avantgame that's why I don't tweet my running times. The world is not ready for a large man bragging that he is getting SuperBetter!

        @avantgame annoys me that we have this chair-bound intellectual culture that totally doesn't understand the mental benefits of exercise. +10
