So today I hit the gym at lunch. I used the Couch to 5K program and did the following:

Walk 1/2 mile, Jog 1/4 mile, Walk, Jog, Walk, Jog and so on for two miles. I was able to do this under 30 minutes. That was my goal since I have to drive to the Y, get on the treadmill, shower, and get back to work in an hour. I am going to search for a couch to 10 miler plan online in a minute.

My walking pace is 3.2 – 3.4 mph. My jogging pace is 5.2-5.8 mph. For those of you a bit slower, 5.0 miles per hour equates to a 12 minute mile. This is slow by most standards. My oldest son, he’s 7, ran a mile in 9:50 last week. My almost 6 year old did his mile in 10:07. My mile today was something like 14:50.

Plenty of time.

For you viewers at home, here is the wiki page for the Jeep Wrangler. Why would I blog my progress of running and possibly losing some poundage? My favorite blogger Blankbaby did it. His blog is linked to the right. My buddy who blogs at Lerxst did it. His blog is listed to the right. My blog friend from up north Rick Reed did it too. I thought why not me, and why not pick up a Jeep at the end as a bit of incentive.
