My Plan

The training plan that I'm following is designed to get me to the point where I can run 30 minutes (about 2 miles) at a slow, relaxed pace. It's a simple, progressive program that begins with more walking than running, and gradually evolves into more running than walking.

Get Back in Shape

Well I decided I needed to get back in shape not only for health reasons but also to make me feel better. I joined a gym with an indoor track so I could run inside. http://www.livesmarterplayharder.org/
