Now, I have to prepare for our D&D game assuming people show up.

I ran/aerobic-walked 9779 aerobic steps this morning. I just discovered this new feature on my pedometer. It only counts the steps when the frequency is higher than 60 steps per minute and the duration is longer than 10 minutes.

I jogged for a full hour, though the pedometer registers me having done 72 minutes of aerobic activity. I apparently burned 316 kcal or 23.5 grams of fat. I covered exactly 4 kilometers of distance though atomiks only guessed my stride length at 41 cm so I'm not sure how accurate this stuff is.

I'm thinking of going out again tomorrow morning but I'm not sure if I should be resting a day between jogs.

I just got back from a 50 minute jog.  Now, I'm jogging for time, not distance, so I wasn't going very fast but I did fifty minutes!!  I'm pretty pleased about my progress.

I do have issue I'm not sure about and maybe doc_mystery can answer my question. If anyone else has an opinion, I'd like to hear it.  How many jogging sessions before you start seeing a reduction  in your abdominal girth?  I'm watching what I'm eating and trying jog in such a way to keep my heart rate in the 140-150 beats per minute range.  I want to lose my pot belly and I would like people to stop pointing my stomach out to me.

Thus, I hopefully begin a new chapter in fitness. I bought new running shoes specifically designed for my sorry feet over the weekend. Last night, I tried them out with a 30 minute jogging session.

I jogged for the full 30 minutes and went through University of Toronto campus and Queen's Park. I did not stop until the full 30 minutes had elapsed. I'm very proud of myself. The shoes were great. I did not get my usual sore shins and ankles I've had in the past.

Of course, today my legs are sore, specifically my quadraceps. I imagine tomorrow they will hurt even more. I have to get through this initial annoying painful part. I plan to go again Friday evening and will try to go at least three times a week or every second day.

Wish me luck.
