Okay, this whole running/walking idea is working better than I thought. Today, I tried running 200 counts, walking 30 and repeating. I ended up running 700 counts and walking 120, and covered about 1.5 miles, which is three times as far as I can run if I just start and go until I have to stop. :) My next goal is to be able to make two loops around the park (2.6 miles) at the 200/30 ratio. Once I can do that, I’ll probably switch to 300/30 and keep adjusting until I can run the whole thing. My goal right now is to be able to run 4 miles without walking by Trixie Camp. With roughly six weeks to go, I figure I’m in good shape. Eating’s still kind of up and down, mostly because I’m trying to use up odds and ends of food so I don’t have to move it. But I’m being good about avoiding the snack machine at work and trying to keep things balanced. Oh, and the paper’s sponsoring a co-ed softball team this summer for the county league, and I signed up for that. Games start July 8, and I volunteered to be catcher. I did the same thing three summers ago and my legs got a great workout, since I basically spent 30 to 45 minutes a night doing deep knee bends once a week. :) This league plays two games a week, which will be good. No clue what it will do to my running, though. We shall see…
