That's either a malformed URL or chrome is cruelly not letting me click on the "little chart" link. Charts! How fun are those? (Answer: pretty damn fun!!!) But then, I just like looking at my running spreadsheet and adding MORE BRIGHT COLORS and columns that have MORE BRIGHT COLORS in them, so hey, to each their own.
Are you doing C25K? Or just going running?
Although tech and shoes are, I believe, completely trumped by the most important thing: establishing a non-negotiable routine.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this runner from the prompt start of her appointed run.
When I was first starting, I tried to treat it as a "I have to pickup my kids at x time". Not that I have kids. It was hard when more fun things came up, like "X wants to get dinner together" or "the sun is shining" or downers like "I'm tired" or "I feel whiny" or "the sun has been extinguished by aliens from Tau Beta V". This is where a support network, for me, was key: friends saying, "oh, that's your running slot? Well, of course we can't do then. How about instead...".
