I started week 6 of the 8 week jogging program yesterday.  This is the third time I've attempted to complete this program, but this is the first time I've come this far.

I know I will complete the entire eight weeks this time!

It isn't easy, but it feels so good to achieve this goal.  Week six consists of 8 intervals of 1 minute walking, 3 minutes jogging.  I also add a walking warm up and walking cool down at the beginning and end, plus stretching when I'm done.  I will post the entire program on here once I complete it.

Yesterday's workout was pretty tough.  But I still completed it, and it made me feel proud of myself.  Jogging can be kind of boring for me.  I know some people who just love it, but I have to find ways to keep myself entertained.  Weird, huh?  But when the difficulty level increases, I don't have time to be bored because I'm busy concentrating on how I can complete the jogging session.

My calves are a bit sore today although I stretched yesterday.  That feels good too: sore muscles.  It makes me feel as though I've accomplished something.
