    Your BMI is above 30 and your pace is 12-13 minutes per mile, i doubt majority of the fit females can run that pace with 50-60 pounds on strap on their back. If your BMI went down to the low 20s, i guarantee you will halve that pace and run in the 7 minute mile pace as your cruising speed.

    I've read this post over and over.
    I'm not quite sure if I'm missing something or if you are under explaining.
    Yeah, I'm heavier than I want to be, but I'm not especially complaining about times on my run. Feels slow, but making progress. The '50-60 pounds strapped on your back' confuses me.
    Are you saying that based on my current fitness, as the weight drops the speed will already be improved, or am I reading this wrong? Huh?

    Progress.
    I'll take it.
    This wasn't run/walk either.
    I'm awfully impressed with myself.

    .....turns out that spite and anger are a huge motivator for me.
    We use the tools we have.
