Run Your Butt Off!

Part of my exercise plan is coming from the book "Run Your Butt Off!". Each stage is supposed to be done three to four times in a week before moving on. I'm in this for the long haul, so I'm planning to do each stage for two to three weeks before moving on. I like how this plan builds you up gradually and each day's workout is kept under 40 minutes. I can give myself 40 minutes a day.

1. Walk for 30 minutes.
2. Walk for 4 minutes, run for 1. Repeat 4 more times. End with 4 minutes walking.
3. Walk for 4 minutes, run for 2. Repeat 3 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
4. Walk for 3 minutes, run for 3. Repeat 4 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
5. Walk for 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Run for 5. Repeat 3 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
6. Walk for 3 minutes. Run for 7. Repeat 2 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
7. Walk for 2 minutes. Run for 8. Repeat 2 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
8. Walk for 2 minutes. Run for 9. Repeat 1 more time. Walk for 2 minutes. Run for 8. End with 3 minutes of walking.
9. Walk for 1 minute. Run for 9. Repeat 2 more times. End with 3 minutes walking.
10. Walk for 2 minutes. Run for 13. Repeat 1 more time. End with 3 minutes walking.
11. Walk for 2 minutes. Run for 14. Walk for 1 minute. Run for 14. End with 3 minutes walking.
12. Walk for 3 minutes. Run for 30. End with 3 minutes walking.

Run for 30 minutes. Run for 30 minutes? Currently that sounds about as plausible as single-handedly reaching the summit of Everest. I know I can do it though.
