I walked for 4 min and jogged for 1 min for 30 minutes.  Felt fine.  I could have run for longer at a time but am holding back to be smart and not get injured.

I have 20lbs of baby weight to lose as of today.

I walked 4 min and jogged for 1 again today but for 35 minutes (Pushing the stroller).  It felt awesome so I think I'll increase the running portion.

Walked for 4 min, jogged for 2 min, for 30 min.  My watch died at about 20 minutes so I'm guessing the last 10 min, but i know it was 2.64miles for sure.

I felt a bit of soreness in my left hip and achilles which are old injuries so I'm going to rest for a couple days.  Just walk or bike.

Walk jogged for 0:35:50 today.  Walked for 3, jogged for 2.  For the first round of running, my calf/Achilles felt sore which worried me, but it loosened up.  My groin and lower abs are sore, but thats not surprising given I just had a baby.  Other than that, I felt good.

Biked 13.8 miles today to mix it up.  Took an hour and two minutes.  Really slow and weak.  But it was great to get on my bike again.

Walked for 3, ran for 2 again for 35 minutes.  Ran a little faster than last time.  No pain, felt good other than my obvious lack of endurance and muscle mass.  I'll be adding a minute of running next week.

Walked for 2, ran for 3 for 30 min.  Pushing stroller.  I was so hot out and I pushed myself on the running portion, so it was a tough workout.  Felt good otherwise.

Walked for 2, ran for 3 for 30 min.  Was partly cloudy and warm.  Wasnt in the mood to run this evening but I'm glad I did.  It was alright in the end.  Would like to attempt a 5km non stop soon, but I am trying to hold myself back.

Ran for 30 min non stop today.  No pain, was just weak.  I felt like I was putting in hard effort to keep up this pace.
