Back to work after an exciting weekend at the HH100 in Wichita Falls, TX. Will post pics later. In the mean time, have you been asking yourself, “Is there anything the iPhone cannot do?”

Well, apparently not. Here are some new showcased apps for your viewing pleasure.

Kingwood Fit Run

I couldn’t, for the life of me, get the Garmin ForeRunner 305 to sync up to the GPS satellites. So, as we are running, I reach over to the iPhone on my arm and fire up the RunKeeper program. The iPhone is able to acquire the GPS satellites and I was able to track the remainder of the run with RunKeeper. So the figures below are just for the part of the event that RunKeeper recorded.

Duration: 01:10
Distance: 7.65 mi
Pace (avg): 9:12 min/mi
Speed (avg): 6.52 mi/hr
Energy: 1198 kcal

I took a few pics of folks finishing the run this morning.

Mikie, Chelsea, and I went to Canino’s Produce Market.
