Okay, so still sticking with the plan, ran 4 miles outside today, even after 9 it was only 70, but it still felt hot, but that's my fault for not getting an earlier start.....but at least I did it. I walked more than I should have, but I just kept thinking it was 4 miles more than most, whether walking or running.

Way to be! Kam got after me a while back for using "should" in my daily report, and he's right. Running or walking really doesn't matter - getting out the door and getting miles in is what it's about. Jeff Galloway's run/walk method is adopted by 1000s of people and it works for them. You figure out a run/walk ratio, like run 3 minutes, walk 30 seconds, run 4 minutes, walk 1 minute, etc. I've tried it a couple times and it works. You might want to look into it. There's no "rule of running" that says you must run the entire time or you're a failure. If you plan when you're going to walk vs. having to walk because you don't feel like you can run, it's an entirely different mental matter. You feel powerful and in charge. Try it sometime! You can download a Galloway run/walk app to beep at you for your certain intervals that you choose.

What he said, Peg. Some days you feel invincible, and some days you manage to get the miles in. Even if you are walking a bit, you are succeeding.
