Running away from the weight

Next night. I think I'm going to like the Couch to 5K podcast from 5K101.com. I used the podcast from week 1 tonight and liked the coaching along the way. 2.8 miles tonight. 6.1 total, 993.9 to go.

Journey begun

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a 3.3 mile walk/jog after too long of too little exercise. About 4 weeks ago in a chance meeting with a friend I agreed to start swimming laps again twice a week with him. This has gone well and I've already felt the improvement in my sense of well-being. But both Monday and last Wednesday both of us were detained by other demands. And tonight, partly because I'm missing the exercise, I went "running" again for the first time in a long time. So here's my goal: I'm going to track my cumulative running (and walking) progress until I reach 1000 miles. 3.3 tonight/996.7 to go.
