Ran an easy 3 miles on the treadmill (8 min/miles) after a long day of shopping.  Avoided the insanity and got to the mall at about 9am, did about 85% of our X-mas shopping and checked out a bunch of stuff.  Showing up at about late morning is great becasue all the nice sales are going and while it's crowded, it's much more calm than that door-buster retarded-ness.  Also picked up some nice running tights for myself at the ADIDAS outlet.

NATE! Nice to see you on here man! FRB is a great site. Sasha is the best for putting this together. I've been on here for over 3 years now since 2007. These guys know their stuff!

Let me know if you have any tips for losing the lbs. I am now pushing 220! Blah! I was 165 during xc for college.

I see you are doing a lot of biking too! I'm going to bike from Buffalo to Albany this summer with my brothers. Should be a great time :D

If you have an ipod touch/iphone, I've found the "Lose It" app great. It's a calorie log with a huge food data base. It helps me keep my diet in check. I never had trouble exercising enough but I've always have eaten too much. The app keeps me in check.

I started at 210 and I'm at 188 now. I want to get to 150 which was my freshman weight.

I did bike alot, I tried to commute by bike at least 3x a week over the summer and fall. If you are looking for a fun tour, the FANY ride is a 7 day ride across NY in July which looks totally fun!
