Day #4!

I stumbled a bit the last two nights with my diet.  But I'm recovering.  I won't dwell on it, just trying to move forward.

On the less than positive note with regard to my diet... I leveled up in running!  I'm now up to alternating walking two minutes, jogging 2.5 minutes.  Surprisingly, physically, it seemed only as difficult as Monday/Tuesday felt.  However, mentally, I was a bit more fortified.  I only began wanting to quit after the fourth out of the 6 walk/jog pairs.

Here's my plan, so people know what I'm up to:

I'm going to run, before work, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.  My starting point was, for 30 minutes, alternating walking and jogging for 2-minutes each.  After each 2-day pair that I continue for the whole 30 minutes, I'm going to increase the time I jog by 30 seconds each cycle, until I'm jogging for 5 minutes and walking for 2 minutes.  Then, I'll start dropping my walking time by 30 seconds each cycle until I'm running for the full 30 minutes.

That's the goal.  We'll see how it goes!
