If you do that three times this week you will more than do 10 miles, which I think is a great place to start. You are right too, the concrete goals make this easier. 3.44 miles is awesome.

Following a schedule really helps me as well. If I don't feel like I am working toward a collective goal (even beyond simply 'losing weight') I feel scattered. I currently jog three times a week and I break it down in the following way:<br><br>Intervals: I switch between 3 mins of jogging / 2 mins of walking and 5 mins of jogging / 2 mins (60 mins total w/10 min walk/warm-up) each week. So if I am doing 3/2 this week, next week I will do 5/2. <br><br>Long Intervals: 20 mins of jogging / 5 mins of walking (2x, so 60 mins total w/10 mins walk/warm-up)<br><br>Distance: Start @ x miles (2?) and increase weekly until I reach 5 miles.<br><br>Everyone is different so it's important to do what works for you, but I think you're well on your way to achieving your goals -- especially now that they are a little more structured!

Everyone is different so it's important to do what works for you, but I think you're well on your way to achieving your goals — especially now that they are a little more structured!
