Running for reals

[calliopeo]

Today I "ran" (very slowly, but I pumped my arms, so it was at least jogging) for a full 30 minutes, and I wasn't too wiped out at the end. I may not be able to do it fast, but I feel like there is a decent chance that I may be able to make it 4 miles next week without walking, if I go slow enough. Hopefully the judges will wait around for me! I

I do a walk/run combo, at least when I'm on the treadmill and can keep track better, where I walk for so long, then run for so long. Right now I'm on 6 walk/2 run. For a while, I was on 5 walk/4 run, but I stopped jogging for a bit. :(

I'm still a little worried about jogging outside - even though I haven't fallen much since I lost weight, I'm still worried it'll happen. At least on the treadmill, I'm at home. However, the TM is at my parents house, not mine. Pondering convincing them to bring it here for the basement...

I got a talking watch so I could keep track of quick transitions, or I use my massive music collection to do a 1-4-1-4 mix or whatever. I'm finding that I highly prefer running outside, because it's less boring, but I do have to make sure I have my inhaler--cold air does not agree with my lungs.
