I started a 10 week Beginner's Running Clinic on February 25, 2008. We meet twice a week for 10 weeks and then we will take part in a graduation 5K event. Currently we stretch, warm-up for 3 to 5 minutes and run 4 minutes and walk 2 minutes for around 30/45 minutes.

Two meetings ago we ran a Magic Mile and my time was 11:11 and I did not stop. I was proud of myself. 

Today I ran/walked on the treadmill for 31 minutes. I walked a total of 14 minutes and ran 17.
