Yikes. That's why I say goodbye to Frank and the beans and thank them for a lifetime of service before every interval session with standing sprints and short, steep hill climbs.
But I worry a bit less now that my weight is down around 150. I can't figure out how I managed to walk at all when I weighed 205. I get tired now just carrying 20 lbs of groceries or cat food home from the store in a backpack.
