1.5 miles in 10 mins, 15 seconds? That's pretty tough, but doable.

I hurt my wrist so I haven't been able to work out in the gym for almost 2 weeks. I've lost about 3 lbs of muscle mass and it's starting to mess with my self-esteem.

Deadlift with straps and squat, yah bitch.

You lose muscle that easily?

If you don't work out nor eat for maintenance then maybe... but he's probably exaggerating.

My wrist could barely handle the strain of 2 gallon (7.5 L) milk jugs, and the last time I tried to curl a 27.5lb (12kg) weight, it hurt to even hold the barbell in my hand. I think lifting the bar for a deadlift would tear my hand right off my arm at the wrist. I'm maintaining leg muscle by running and doing judo.

And no, I'm not exaggerating. I think it means the muscle was short-term and not lean muscle yet (the long-term muscle). I can see the size difference in my chest and arms since I stopped working out, it's that noticeable. It took me 5 months starting in June to put on 10 lbs of muscle. It doesn't take long for those gains to evaporate, which is why it's messing with my head. If I eat to maintain, I just put on fat weight.
