week 4 day 1

Tonight I started week four day 1 of C25K. I started out with a five minute warm up walk to get ready for a three minute run followed by a minute and a half walk. This part wasn’t bad. I was ready for it because of last week. After the minute and a half walk, I had to run for five minutes. I’ve never been able to run for five minutes straight and it was really nice to say that I was able to do that. I finished the five minute walk feeling good about myself. After the five minute walk I had to walk for two and a half minutes, followed by the three minute run again. That was tough after the five minute run with only two minutes of walking. After the three minute run, instead of walking for a minute and a half before starting the five minute run again, I had to walk for three minutes to try and catch my breath. I was not ready for another five minute run. I started my five minute run and I thought it lasted a lifetime. It took forever to end but it did. I was really proud of myself. I didn’t think I would be able to run for five minutes. I was going to give up after running for three minutes the second time, but Scott made me run. He told me I should take the extra walking time because the running is what really matters so I listened to him and I’m glad I did. I’m glad its over.
