The first month of the program called for just walking, and we've made it through, some of us have even managed to add some running in the past month. This month the program suggests that we continue to do mostly walking, but that we do our best to add a little running in as well.
Remember that it is important to add the running slowly. If you are willing to give it a try you will be surprised at how effective it is to just run for 30 seconds and then walk for 30 seconds, and gradually increase the running time over the weeks. It really helps build up your stamina so that you are better able to handle longer periods of running.
So, get your running shoes on and let's start running!
Don't forget to take a minute to leave us a note and let us know how you are doing.

Thank you Jacqueline for the update. I can't believe it's been a month already. Commenting has made me more motivated to stick to the program. The program I'm doing on the treadmill, this week, I've increased it to 25 minutes with 4 intervals of 2 minutes of running. I found it a little hard today when I did it but hope by the end of the week to be okay with it. I am also hoping to do this Monday through Friday although I will be in Halifax again Thursday night but back Friday night. If I don't get a chance to do it Friday I will have to try and do it Saturday. Keep up the good work everybody.
