Seven month check-in. Still baffled by body fat measurements - apparently continuing to lose muscle but not fat. I guess possible since I'm doing no real strength training for now, just running. Did visit doctor to determine why shoulder still hurts. Short head tendonitis is the answer, to be resolved with some habit changes and 4 to 6 weeks of twice weekly therapy.
Also took several "professional" steps re foot problems (arch pain, plantar fasciitis) that have arisen, which was September's focus as planned. General physician and footwear consultant (supposedly the best in town) both recommend conservative approach of replacing old foot inserts with new off the shelf ones, specifically Spenkos and I-don't-know-what-they're-called-but-they're-better-and-I'm-using-them, respectively. Keeping workload roughly stable (aka light, no more than 3 runs/week, little to no increase in distance or intensity) for now. So far, seem to be experiencing the slow recovery that is expected.
Input Goal: Run 130x / 10 months = 13x/month.
Performance: Mar 5x, April 5x, May 9x, June 13x, July 12x, August 12x, September 11x.
Total runs 67.
Results Goal: Drop from 33% body fat to 30%.
Results: Body fat now maybe 31%.
Notes: Body fat was 28.75% two months ago, weight 151.5 lbs. Now body fat is 31.3%, weight 148.4 lbs. Implies that lean weight, previously 108 lbs and consistently 110 to 108, dropped to 102 lbs. I think I have partially mismeasured, but weight rose temporarily as I changed my outside-of-exercise schedule due to starting to take computer classes. Yay, life improvement! For now will continue while following therapy instructions.
