Over the last several weeks, I've been trying to complete the full cycle of running 3 minutes and then walking 3 minutes for a full hour - which would mean I would run a total of 30 minutes and walk for 30 minutes.
There is a series of trails behind our house ... I'd go about two loops around the outer trail.
What would typically happen is, I'd get to about 21 minutes (total) of running and then I could only walk from that point on. I'd go about 2 or 3 times a week ... and no matter the situation, weather or my energy level, by the time I complete my 7th run cycle, I could no longer run ... it'd be just before I completed the 2nd loop.
Then we had a cold front move in ...the humidity down; temps went from mid to upper 90's to upper 80's and lower 90's. On Saturday, we had a high of 86 and I was able, for the first time, run the entire 30 minutes ... in other words, I ran 3, walked 3 for the full 60 minutes. And it was wonderful!
Today, I had to take the car to the mechanic. Since I had no ride home, I just ran home. I was able to get up to 27 minutes no problem. I love cold fronts in the fall!
Also - just to note - I'm take up to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day now. I mix two tbls in with a regular-sized sports drink bottle, and then I dump in some crystal light. The ACV makes the CL quite zippy! I noticed, that after I upped the ACV intake, all my mosquito bites seemed to vanish in a matter of days. Also, it seems the fungus is continuing to recede.

Toenails August 16
I've not been so diligent with the ACV. But back in February/March, when I was a bit more diligent, the toe nails seemed to improve - especially the right big toe. The left big toe improved, but then I injured it and it's been pretty discolored for a few months.
I plan to be more diligent with the ACV, but wanted to get another 'baseline'

Apple Cider Vinegar
One of my favorite parts of the day is reading Seth Roberts' blog. Today, he linked to earth clinic. Wow - what a site! After spending almost an hour at the site, I arrived at the conclusion that apple cider vinegar (ACV) is the cure-all for just about everything.
I first heard of ACV last summer when my sister-in-law suggested that my wife and I soak our feet in a concoction of ACV and Listerine. My wife tried it for several weeks, but I made her stop because the house was beginning to smell like used shoe - literally - it stunk like a dirty shoe. She disagreed with me, until she walked into the house one day and realized that I was right.
What Seth linked to today was about toenail fungus and what to do to cure it. ACV was the solution. However, I didn't see any posts or comments that ACV had to be mixed with Listerine. Some people said that by simply putting ACV on a q-tip and applying it to the nails, that that would cure the fungus. But the comment that caught my eyes was the one advocating the ingestion of ACV.
One person said that by ingesting ACV - 2 teaspoons twice daily - that their fungus has gone away. Upon further reading of the site, it suggests drinking 2 teaspoons of ACV diluted with 16 oz. of water per day, that one would lose weight.
Therefore, having had a severe toenail fungus problem as well as striving to lose weight, I plan on adding ACV to my diet. To start off, I think I'll try 2 teaspoons with 16 oz. of water twice daily - once in the morning and once at night.
Below are pictures of what my toenails look like today.
