A pattern and habit is developing. 3 days of running plus some other work (mainly crunches & planks), 2 days of Core workouts plus some walking. Then 1 full on cheat day (no exercise, eat whatever I want, no calorie counting), and then 1 day with variable exercise but at minimum sticking to calorie counts. I need to get into a habit of doing something more physical on the last day (Saturdays), but the extra day of rest has helped so I am not going to push it.
I am actually planning on starting up a running day with James (and maybe Daniel) on Saturdays. Once my Mom is settled in next door I will set up a time for her to watch Emily (and maybe Daniel) while we do a quick neighborhood run. Obviously this will be limited by weather. But James seemed to enjoy the running club last fall at school, and seemed excited to run in the next race a run (St. Patrick's Day), so I need to start getting him into shape for that. James is already in such good shape that I figure that he will really only need 1 training day a week to start working up to 5K.
There you have it: regular training schedule, not overly ambitious, letting the increase in endurance come naturally and gradually. Also sticking to a regular diet so I can help knock of those pounds that probably also had something to do with my leg soreness.
