For Joggers and Runners

Great thread Thinker! I have always done a walk/run combo...even worked myself up to running 2 miles at one point, but once school started I quit running. Now I have started again and it is not as easy this time because I have been so inactive when studying.

I have a 1 mile route through my neighborhood that is all different terrains from flat, up-hill, and down-hill. It zig-zags around, so I run the north/south blocks and walk the east/west blocks. I finally got a digital watch last night and am going to start timing how much I am running vs. walking.

I am very committed to making this work this time! Especially now that I can go with my boxer Frankie...took me a while to get her leash trained and calmed down enough to take with me.

I am also waiting for my new Asics running shoes to get here....then I will be tearing up the trail...lol

Nooooo. The first pair I've had for over a year. I liked 'em so much that I decided to stick with Asics when looking for a more "serious" shoe....ones I'd only use for my cardio.
