Is it normal to have such a high resting heart rate?

I am 195lbs and 5'5.5", my resting heart rate is all over the place, between 87 and 110 when I am just sitting around. I just got a heart monitor watch and cheast strap.
The better your physical condition, the lower the heartrate usually is. Marathon runners and professional cyclist sometimes have resting heartrate below 40, which is is a bit to much of a good thing. If you indeed have a very bad physical condition, do something about it and your heartrate will most likely go down a bit. If your condition is excellent, go see a doctor if you are worried.
