Basic Report:
I started the run, fairly strong but I was not smart. I decided to do my run in the middle of the afternoon while returning a book that was due at the library today. I did about 2 of the runs (about 1 mile in), but then got very hot and sat under the shade of a tree for 10 minutes. I then walked the remaining mile to the library. When I got to the library I needed to desperately cool off (note it was 92 degrees) and found a book to read for about an hour and a half. I walked home. Not a good running routine, but 4 miles of walking isn't bad, or rather two 2-mile walks. It still calories burned.

So, the image below is pretty much my walk. I am going to go out now and attempt the schedule for today which (I think) is 10x2 minute runs with a 3 minute walk in between. I am just going to run over to a nearby high school track and do it.
So stay tuned...
