I am (unfortunately) surrounded by good pizza and southwest food. Definitely worth the calories for either.

joejack951 that's almost ten miles longer than I've ever run. Are you training for a marathon?
It was a new distance record for myself, but only by a couple miles. I hate to say that I'm training for anything specifically (more so just keeping active and feeling fit as I inch toward 40 years old) but I am running the Philly Love Run (half marathon) in a few weeks and hope to achieve a respectable time. Goal is 1h35m or 7:15/mile pace.

I can't relate to weight lifting gains, as I've never seriously done it, but those numbers sure sound impressive
I'm pretty happy with my running endurance gains which have happened alongside my weight loss. In April 2017 I raced a 5k (which kinda got me into running) at a 7:49/mile pace. Totally spent. Sunday's training run was mostly at a relaxed pace averaging 7:57/mile with the last 3 miles at 7:22/mile.
I hope to a do a few duathlons again this summer and ought to see myself turning far quicker times now that I can actually push on the run segments as well as the bike.
