Getting into Shape

I got lazy last fall: once it got too cold to run, I quit running (which makes some sense) and then quit doing sit-ups and push-ups indoors (which makes no sense, and is sheer laziness). Well, I'm getting back into shape now and to keep myself honest I thought it might be useful to blog my progress. It's a bit embarrassing how out-of-shape I am, but

The advice I've seen is not to do the same stuff two days in a row, but instead to alternate. So on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I run according to an approved programme and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I do push-ups and sit-ups.

I ran two miles yesterday. Didn't track my time; tomorrow I'll bring my mobile phone along and use its stopwatch and see how I'm doing. Pretty badly, I suspect. Today I did Week 3, Day 1: sets of 14, 18, 14, 14 & 24 push-ups, for a total of 84. I then did the same for sit-ups: sets of 21, 27, 21, 21 & 41. Here's looking forward to Thursday!
