# Fighting a Sedentary Lifestyle – Week 4

## [Fighting a Sedentary Lifestyle – Week 4](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/fighting-a-sedentary-lifestyle-week-4)

    19th Jul 2018   [c25k](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:c25k#body-wrapper) [Social Media Detox](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:Social%20Media%20Detox#body-wrapper)  

Week 4 added 7 minutes to the total running time. This morning’s run, the third and final one, was easier than the earlier ones. Definitely encouraging! I had been worried that it was all too much too soon.

I start Week 5’s runs on Saturday. That run will mark the first time in the program that I don’t do the same thing for 3 runs in a row. But, since next week adds only 4 minutes to my total running time, it feels less scary than this week, especially since I ended the week strong.

Staying off social media has gotten easier over time. [Mark Zuckerberg’s behavior](https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/18/17587080/mark-zuckerberg-holocaust-denial-kara-swisher-interview) has made it especially easy to stay away from networks that he owns (Facebook and Instagram). I still do need to use social media for work, and I have not yet figured that part out. For example, this post will get reposted within Facebook without me doing anything extra. Should I be disabling that? I’m not sure.
