Andrea told me I'm not supposed to comment about weight on guy's blogs.

From SlowJoe on Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 18:02:24 from 66.69.93.8

That's correct. I am very sensitive and any comment may lead me to eat a carton of Oreo's in shame while I sob uncontrollably.

From Matt Schreiber on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 13:14:59 from 66.17.102.185

Maybe the oreos are why my mile:weight relationship isn't as inverse as yours....

From Jason D on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 17:43:02 from 24.1.80.94

@Jake: Because it's unmanly? I listened to some bros in the locker room the other day and it went like this: "Dude! 148! .... dude 153! Wait...hold my towel [drops towel, presumably wearing nothing] Just wait, we haven't hit our peak metabolisms yet!"

Me, through gritted teeth, "wait until you are 29, run 65-95 miles a week and are staring at a 190-calorie Kind Bar after a second run, saying, 'I really should break this in half.'"

Joe: If I had a carton of Oreos I would eat them all. Last weekend I ate three boxes of Thin Mints in about 30 hours. Had to put myself on cookie probation for another 6 months.

From Tom K on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 18:17:26 from 71.203.20.181

Jason's story makes me glad I don't run in a gym.

Samoas and Cheetos are food groups.

From SlowJoe on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 18:41:41 from 66.69.93.8

Jason - epic comment, love it! Jake's comment references a post from earlier in the week that concluded with me calling him tubby.

Tom - I try to eat something from those food groups daily. And the fried food group...essential.

From Jason D on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 19:08:18 from 24.1.80.94

Tom: When the young guy next to me is wearing shorts below his knees and huge over-the-ear headphones and I go up to the track and ladies are walking in jeans in pairs around the track while I am doing strides I knew it was time to get back on the roads. Heck, with snow and cold.

Joe: He's huge in person. Photos subtract at least several stones.

From SlowJoe on Sat, Mar 01, 2014 at 20:16:18 from 66.69.93.8

Jason - yeah I've met him. I was surprised he could run with me without using a forklift. Nimble giant, for sure.

From I Just Run on Sun, Mar 02, 2014 at 15:35:54 from 12.162.141.2

Thanks guys for keeping me entertained... I bet none of you weigh over 160 pounds!

From Tracy on Sun, Mar 02, 2014 at 19:20:09 from 50.103.252.199

Amusing, dudes.

From Andrea on Tue, Mar 04, 2014 at 13:05:46 from 72.37.171.52

I made a graph too...how come your is opposite from mine?

Great weight, by the way.

Andrea, you know I can't answer your question. But, that is a cool chart.
