Now imagine if you were 45+ pounds over weight and this is what you had to deal with every day. Imagine the extra and constant stress on the heart, muscles, and joints.

I have another workout where I carry a 120lb sandbag on my shoulder and I have actually thought about that very thing. I couldn't imagine weighing that much more then I do.

I rode my bike to work last week when my car was being fixed. I carried a backpack full of books, papers, etc, probably about 25lbs worth. I was thinking that exact thing riding up hills :s

"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher

"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis

running with a backpack full of weight is brutal. That set of vertical stairs does look sick. Think I'd take the escalator..... lol.

Yet I get no extra credit for a 90 mile running week with 30 extra lb. No respect!

Oh, what, I should just eat less and quit my bitchin'? Wink
