As part of my resolution, I started the couch to 5K plan (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)
This is a great plan for starters/beginners.
I have started/stopped running many times in the past but this time was determined to do it methodically.
I started with the plan and am glad to claim that I have been able to follow it successfully.
I have not been able to reach 5K as yet, but now am able to do till 4.42K.
I started the same somewhere in the month of Oct and started directly with week 4 (since I mentioned I used to run before). I went a bit slow taking the same schedule for 2 weeks (instead of one) and currently in first week of Jan 2016, I can now do the following:
I will keep everyone updated on my progress.
Note:
When I reach office, I climb up 208 steps (to 8th floor).
I do it once in the afternoon also (sometimes)

- 5 min warmup walk (at varying speed from 3.5 to 6.2)
- 30 min run (at 7.6 speed)
- 5 min of cool down (automatic as per the treadmill)
I will keep everyone updated on my progress.
