I met with my health coach from the University of Michigan from a research study for Week 2 to discuss my assignment for this week.  The health coach discussed the meaning of SMART goals and how to generate SMART goals.  The assignment is to create 3 goals to increase my level of physical activity for walking, jogging, and running.  My goal for walking is to increase the amount of walking time from 15 minutes to 20 minutes 5 times this week.  My goal for jogging is to increase the distance to .02 miles 1 time this week.  My goal for running is to run at a set pace and increase the time to 2 seconds 2 times this week.  The next step is to break the goals into manageable parts.  For example, I can set my goal for walking by incorporating 2 10 minute periods of walking throughout the day to achieve the overall goal of increasing the amount of walking to 20 minutes 5 times a week.   I was able to complete the physical activity diary mentioning the time of activity and sleep with the Osteoarthritis symptoms based on a scale from 0-10, including knee pain, fatigue, and stiffness for Week 1.  The researchers incorporated smaller homework assignments and readings into the first week.
