Running Schedule

First thing I need to do is set up a workout schedule.  I truly believe that you have to schedule workouts into your daily life.  I, like most other moms out there know that a calendar is a must.  I pencil everything in my planner.   To make lifestyle changes you have to take small steps.  I have learned over time that if I try to make too many changes at once I tend to fail.  I will be starting with a running schedule that Kara, a family member had posted on her blog a couple of months ago.  I feel like it’s a great way to get me started in the cardio area.  However, I need to incorporate strength training as well.
 Baby steps……Right?
