The bad news: by 52, the weight stuck with me more stubbornly. The speed and stamina returned, but I couldn't drop the weight. So, Fatty, hopefully you won't fall into my pattern.

And Fatty...your new book was awesome! Finished reading it (the kindle version) during the holidays. Loved reliving those post's from yesteryear and having new insight into the thought process. Though I do admit I wish you could put the footnotes at the bottom of the page they are referencing...had to do a LOT of back and forth (especially on my small screen kindle). And got my autographed paper-copy too...it's sitting proudly on my bookshelf (in the "fiction" section...somewhat close to Floyd's autographed "Absolutely Positive" book...in which the only apparent true part is the title).

I've signed up for the 1/2 growler mountain bike race in Gunnison, CO Memorial Day weekend and I'm planning to drop ~30 lbs between now and then to be racing at around your current weight. I'd like to knock some time off of my ~4:32 time from last year. I also may have signed up for a 1/2 marathon the week before, I really have my work cut out for me.

I lose weight during the fall and winter while I focus on training for big running races and then get lazy in the late spring and summer when the heat and humidity make even being on the bike less fun. But then, we average highs in the winter of 60s and 70s and it's our driest season normally, so the weather is awesome for running and not even bad for the bike, so there's less reason to take a break than if I were in a colder, more miserable place. I've heard Cleveland sucks in the winter. I know the pattern, although mine is kind of like a Christmas in Antarctica: in the summer.
