OTG - awesome walking prowress!

I can understand the wanting to lose a few more LBS (I mean lbs before running - It will be easier on your knees - good luck!

I am trying to drop another 10-15 lbs (I am down 12.5 since mid September and 22.5 since last January - I figure it is cheaper to lighten up my body than buy a lighter bike ) - why is it so much easier to put it on than take it off ??? Spoken by all dieters everywhere

robyn - whoa 3 min 100 rpm in big ring ouch! How is that on your knees?
Does running work like cycling where you get a good base laid then start working on speed?
that is my plan anyway, I talked to one of our phy ed teachers here and she told me to get the distance worked up first then start working on sprints. I have a ways to go on the distance so it will definately be awhile before I sprint.
