I tried this for two days, and it's much too slow for me. I'm going to consider myself ADVANCED and move on to Week 5!

I had to advance myself as well.

I am going to start this on friday, even if its too slow, going to only go step by step...I have a bad habit of jumping ahead to far to fast and then getting hurt or discouraged.

I'm hoping the dog will like this.

I'm going to try it in about an hour after I've digested a little more of my lunch.

Ok. Well, it seems to not have killed me, so that means it make me stronger, right?

I didn't like the idea of ending on a jog, and also because I apparently can't do math or count in my head while I'm jogging (or really other times for that matter)... I ended up walking 4 min, jogging 1 min, walking 3 min, jogging 1 min, walking 3 min, jogging 1 min, walking 3 min, jogging 1 min, walking 3 min for a total of 20.

Ok, I just joined this group - and I have started trying to jog some and am having shin splints (I had these years ago too). Any suggestions of what else I should go besides more stretching and icing? I am going to buy new shoes (Mazutos ?sp?) tonight to see if that helps any and the college girl who works at the sports store said she was avail. for hire to help me learn the right techniques.
