scheduling

One of the biggest frustrations so far regarding this project is the lack of time during weekdays that there is for running. Typically I get home from school by 5 and then just don't have time between homework and other responsibilities and can't go. Weekends are usually the best time and so Saturdays and Sundays I intend to run both days. Using Nike+ to schedule and remind me to run hasn't really worked out the best. It counts on 5 runs per week which I can't modify (but that's just unrealistic.) Plus it schedules Saturday the rest day which is actually my best day to run. I've decided that three to start is a decent number, some weeks may have two but it depends on how busy I would be that week or other things that may come up. Also, when training to run I've learned that you don't just have to run but other activities (cross training) are good to do.

I decided on a relatively loose schedule found on the goals page and will use the app just to record the length and time of each run as well as other things like personal bests and such.
