One Way to Stay Motivated

 Pledge

I'll start walking for 15 minutes each morning, then gradually (over the next few months) work my way back to running 5 miles a day.

This is a good pledge. It's realistic (expecting gradual progress), specific (15 minutes a day), and the activity can be done regularly and gradually over time.
