5'10 138lbs used to be about 145ish....all of sudden I find myself getting muscle aches and pulls. I used to be able to run at higher weight and never have injuries...wondering if this is due to my weight loss.
anyone experience this?

Depends where the weight loss came from. Muscle loss and bone loss can contribute to injury.
think little bit of both...how do you get them back when running 100 a week
How did the weight loss occur?Is it from increased mileage? If so, then you may be overtraining or suffering from aches and pains associated with the increase.Is it from restricted calories? Perhaps you are not eating enough. Ensure you are getting sufficient carbohydrates and protein and getting enough rest.

Strength training and eating more, but if you're injured you need to recover and then build back to the 100 gradually. If you run up to 100 mpw you might be underestimating how much fuel you need too. I like using myfitnesspal.com to track food and exercise. You earn more calories needed based on your activity level and it also splits up how much fat, protein, carbs, etc. you need. You can change the settings to make your goal to maintain, gain or lose weight also. Just be careful not to get too obsessive with the numbers because we runners like to do that. It's important not to under-eat or get too light because otherwise your body starts feeding off itself, so you lose muscle and bone density when there's nothing left to burn.
