5 minutes. Twice!

We were definitely dreading today's run.  We were tired, had been pushing ourselves too hard doing stuff around our houses and with our families and then Couch to 5k took a huge jump:

Week 3 was:
  • Jog 90 seconds
  • Walk 90 seconds
  • Jog 3 minutes
  • Walk 3 minutes
And now Week 4 is:

  • Jog 3 minutes
  • Walk 90 seconds
  • Jog 5 minutes
  • Walk 2-1/2 minutes
  • Jog 3 minutes
  • Walk 90 seconds
  • Jog 5 minutes
Um..... 5 minutes?!  No way.  Not possible.  We were huffing and puffing doing 3!  Come on Couch to 5k!  Smaller steps!

But then today.......  We did it! 

Yeah, the whole thing!  Now, we weren't setting any land speed records, but we didn't stop to walk once during our 3 minute or 5 minute runs.  We kicked butt tonight.

And we were tired.  Take that.  :)
