So anyway, here is the running plan that she posted (courtesy of fitsugar.com):

Once you're up to running 30 minutes straight, try to stick with this four times a week.

This is a great Chart! I might try it after my P90x. The idea of me ever running for 30 minutes is outrageous!!
Have you noticed all the CF blogs are about exercise??
I really like this plan...seriously considering following it! I may have to make a few adjustments on the amount of running (just because I haven't done it in over a year)..but i think it's great! Hmm...now I'm kind of excited about it! Thanks for posting this!!
Question: If I start this next week, then I'm gone for a week on my cruise, is it going to mess things up that when I get back from my cruise, I have to start all over? Or should i start this when i get back from cruise? What's your thought?
AWESOME!!! You go, Fibro! :)
Casey- I did notice that a lot of CF blogs are starting to be about exercise which is AWESOME. You know how I feel about it being such a vital role in our health.
Katey- I sent you an email...and yes, start ASAP!!!!
Sara- Thanks again for being the original poster of this running plan. I put a link to your blog so hopefuly people came buy, cause you ROCK!!!!

Plan looks good. The walk breaks really help get you building up the running distance/time.
Great plan reminds me of the Couch to 5K running plan here http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
i sometimes cough up blood after a run too...but i cough up a lot of plugs and think that maybe the plug coming loose could be the culprit! you keep on running. you're awesome!
Ronnie! Hope you have a suggestion! We've been stuck on "week 1" for almost a month now. We (my son and I) can't seem to run more than a minute at a time. It's almost "just to hard" to run for two minutes straight. I've been cutting down on the amount of walking we're doing. So, we're walking for 3 minutes, and running for 1 minute, and we repeat that about 5 times.
Any suggestions on how to run for a longer period of time?
BTW, Azer's been feeling really great as of late. We've even been running when they said they saw pneumonia on his X-ray.
