Total Distance
10.20

This morning I ran 10.20. It felt really good. I did abs, arms, and legs (circuit training). I read this article this morning. I don't even know what body fat percentage I am at, but by the looks of the pictures, I want to be an 18-20 %.  I hear most dudes say they like their girl to have at least a little meat on her bones. I am tall so I don't think 15% would look very attractive on me. Anyway, a very interesting read: http://www.leighpeele.com/body-fat-pictures-and-percentages

That was a really good article. Thanks for posting it. I concur that most men like a little meat on the bones, and I think 18-20 looks really good. I really like the pictures. I have no idea where I am. Oh, nice workout btw. :)

After re-reading what I wrote yesterday I made myself sound like my body fat percentage is over 20%. By the looks of those picture there is no way I am the 25% picture. I am probably around the 20%, I think what I am saying is I am shooting to be around 18% by summer. I think I can do it? :) Then again, my 5'10 body might look a little skeletal at 18% as well. hhmmmm I don't want that.

just another male opinion.18 to 22 looks fit and great. drop too much below 18 and it can start looking a bit freakish.

I could handle being 15-18%. :)
