My first actual run! On Wednesday, I would just run moderately fast until I got tired, then start walking, then run again when I recovered a bit, then run again, etc, etc, etc.... Only not that many ect's. I basically just walked the entire way back from when I turned around.

TODAY was completely different. I found this app for my phone that says my speed and distance traveled every minute, so I decided to run for 2 minutes, then walk for 2, then run for 2, until I got to where I turned around last time, and let me tell you that it made a WORLD of difference. I ran a bit more slowly (which is actually because I paced myself this time), but I went further than I did before. Most importantly, I wasn't nearly as winded as I was before, but I still burned more calories than on Wednesday. I'll continue doing this all of next week, then the following week, I'm going to run for 3 minutes and walk for 1, then the following week, I won't walk. That's the plan, anyway. I'll keep you updated.
