Plyometrics 21 Day fix workout. I have been struggling with logging my runs on here lately. I have also been struggling with motivation to keep running long or hard, which is something new to me. After my marathon, I found myself relieved for a break, and I guess I have struggled to get back into a routine. No real reason to wake up early. We will move in a few months which is part of the reason I haven't signed up for another race to keep me motivated. We have no positive knowledge of where we will move, so for now I am just trying to stay fit, not gain weight, and enjoy these last few months here in CA. 

So....I have still been running, I do need to keep logging.

While in Utah over Thanksgiving I went to Weber and got my body fat percentage tested in the bod pod. I have been struggling with knowing what is a realistic weight for me. I weigh about 10-12 pounds more than I did in college, but still struggled with the fact that I really had that much more to lose. I do think I have focused on gaining muscle so I needed something to confirm that so I could have a more positive body image. I came back with 19% body fat which put me in the lean category (18.1-22%). Of course under 18 would have been even more of a boost to put me in the ultra lean category (15-18%) which is the fat levels found in elite athletes, but considering I am not an elite athlete it made me realize that I don't have 10-12 pounds to lose at all, maybe 3-5 unless I want to lose lean muscle tissue (which I don't). 

Anyways, that is my little journal entry for now. Hopefully once we figure out where our life will head in the next few months I will be reenergized to get some more hard training in.

No school for kids today and they slept in a bit so I had some extra time to get in a few more miles. Arch on top of one of my feet is bugging after about 3 miles and usually have to stop around 6 the past few weeks. Can't wait to open those new running shoes under the tree.
