She wants to try and run 3 times a week, 20 minutes of running split into 10 minutes, a 1 min break, and another 10 min. By the end of the summer, her goal is 50 min total. So I'm going to lay out a schedule for her, a punishment and reward system similar to the smoking one. She wants me to be firm with these instructions, both on the smoking and this one, to keep her on track.
Because I have faith in my lil one, the punishments in this plan will be serious as well, but I want to give her some leeway at the beginning to get her into it first.
So without further ado...
Week 1 and 2 (Jan 1st to Jan 15): lil b will be running 3 times a week, but because it may be tough to start with, as long as she does the full 20 min, I won't be a stickler on pattern. If she needs to do it in 5 min spurts, that's ok these first 2 weeks. However, if she is unable to do the full 20 min, she earns a belt strapping for an uninterrupted 5 minutes.
If for some reason she misses a one day in the first 2 weeks, as long as she asks permission, she may miss 1 day. That will be her only chance to skip, so I hope she uses it wisely if she needs to. If in the first 2 weeks she misses a day without permission, or misses one on top of the one she asks for, she gets the same 5 min strapping, but she also gets a full enema and she has to hold it in with the medium butt plug for 10 minutes while standing in the corner.
If she makes it the whole 2 weeks without earning punishment for running AND smoking, she will get the reward laid out in the smoking schedule. I will mention now, that all rewards I've put in place for smoking, will only be earned if she doesn't earn punishments from both schedules.
Week 3 (Jan 15th to Jan 21st): Now, she must do the 20 min in 2, 10 minute increments. If she has to take a break in the 10 min, she receives 25 swats with the thin, whippy metal rod on her breasts. If she doesn't do the full 20 min, she earns the 5 min strapping and the enema. If she misses a day, she gets all three, the rod, the strapping and the enema.
Week 4 (Jan 22nd to Jan 31st): lil b only has to do 3 runs this week, but she will be given extended rest to make up for the short month of Feb coming up where she will have less time to do the same amount of runs. The punishment laid out for week 3 will be the same throughout her running schedule, so I won't repeat it every time. However, on the first of every month, 10 minutes will be added to her daily total required running time, so in Feb she will have to do 2, 15 minute runs, equaling 30 min a day. March 20 minutes, twice, coming to 40 min, and in April 25 min twice, to reach her goal of 50 min.
Little b will continue through to June 1st doing 50 min, at which point we will re-asses and see if she wants to go longer.
I am going to make a few rules here and now as well, first, if she is sick or there is a family tragedy, or she's hurt, or any other unforeseen situation that prevents her from running, its forgiven. As long as she records her missed time and makes it up on other runs. It doesn't have to be all at once, but it has to be made up sometime before June 1st. If for some reason, she decides its too tough, and either needs to cut the time short for a while, or any other change, she will be SEVERELY punished after we discuss her reasons and decide on a new schedule. I don't know what it will be, but it would be along the lines of the last 3 days of her quit smoking schedule. If she decides to quit, and end everything, she may, but not only would she be punished like I mentioned above, I would be very disappointed in her.
Finally, once a week, I want a blog post from her. Describing how the running and the stop smoking plan is going. I want it to include all the times she messes up(if she does) and the punishment that has been earned, and also any comments she has about how things are going with the schedules, etc. Almost like a running/stop smoking weekly journal. The posts are to come on the last day of each scheduled week.
I think that's everything. I also reserve the right to make additions or changes, as needed, and all changes will be discussed with lil b prior to implementation.
Fingers crossed lil one! I know you can do it!
