Discussion: Honest 172lbs

Make it down to that and I can stop marvelling at where you're hiding all the weight (presumably dense bones and muscles). Or will you look like Valentin Novikov at 172?

People always think I'm lighter than I am. I think that people miss how big my hips are because most men carry weight in their gut. Cycling gives you a big ass.

A big ass is what you don't want when you're running up the big hills, or even the little hills. (Will I need to start checking myself in the mirror???)

Is an honest 172 like an "honest effort"?

An honest 172 is when you get that reading and you didn't run 2 hours in the heat the evening before. As for the big ass, well, there it is. I don't think it's going away any time soon. I don't know too many guys whose waist measurement is 10 inches less than their hips, but that's what I've got going on.

We could do an AP poll! I think the women would win this one hands down.
