Just give yourself a mid July start amount. If you think you would run 50 miles in a month set your goal to 25. Don't let the whole month go by.

Thanks for making me accountable I didnt want to do it even to the point of walking out the door but I did it I have to say it wasnt pleasurable I didnt really get a buzz from it but gonna keep at it this month and then decide if jogging is for me oh and really I did 30% jogging to 70% brisk walking but I didnt stop thats the main thing

That's a great start! When I started to run, about a year ago, I thought this is nuts I HATE THIS! But my daugther challenged me to run a 5K with her and I had 3 months to train. Once I got going I realized I love to run and run all the time now. Hang in there!

On July 1 I came down with something. Initially I thought it was a bad cold, but now think it might have been bronchitis or possibly walking pneumonia (had that once before). It put paid to any running. Even walking upstairs triggered coughing fits. So I have adjusted my running goal for July to 50 miles, since today was my first run in 11 days. I ran 2.2 miles today.

Thanks so so so much for replying it helps to hear a friendly voice cheering me on I jogged again today and actually found I jogged more than walked yesterday not a lot more but a bit more which is satisfying im hoping once I get go the end of the month I will be more into it so I can jn my family next year for a 5k in york that they do every year but we will see if I manage to stick with it first im dego seeing this month out tho
