Felt good enough to start on week 3 today. I had to push myself to finish both 3 minute jogs, but I did do it. Five minute warm up, 90 seconds jogging, 90 seconds walking, 3 minutes jogging, 3 minutes walking, 90 seconds jogging, 90 seconds walking, 3 minutes jogging, 3 minutes walking and a 5 minute cooldown walk.

I wondered why I only had done 2 miles when I had finished and checked back at the cool running site and it has a total of 2400 yards and that's under 2 miles so I figure I'm ahead of the game. Even my lungs hurt today and I thought I was doing so well for not having any problems with my breathing considering I had smoked for 15 years.

Totals: 2 miles in 30 minutes

I did week three day two on Thursday, 2 miles in 30 minutes (five minute warm up, five minute cooldown and the 20 minutes of the plan). I did it again today. Same time, same distance. I felt better about it today too, because Thursday felt like it was going to kill my fat ass. I'm going to do it again next week then we'll see about moving onto week four. Week four looks way too hard for me right now.

I did start week four today. The first three minutes was easy as pie, the first 5 minutes was a bit tough, second three minutes was easier than that first five minutes, last five minutes I had to push the entire time, saying "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." I did finish and I'm so totally proud of myself.

Totals: 30 minutes, 2.21 miles.

Failed at my run today. I managed the five minute warmup, and the first 3 minutes and the first 5 minutes, and the walk, I couldn't finish the second 3 minute though and I ended up just giving up. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Totals: 1.44 miles at however many minutes the above was.

I feel like I talked myself out of it somehow. That I was reminded I got to do it all again today and that I got it in my head that it was a bad thing and just sorta gave up.

Also it seems I have a harder time with the work out if I stretch first. How weird that is.

Redid week 4, day 2. Completed it.

Totals: 2.24 miles in 30 minutes

Did week 4, day 3 on Friday. I don't remember the miles or time though, but it was around 30 minutes and 2 miles.

Did week 5, day 1 today. It was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. My legs are slightly achy but not too bad.


Totals: 2.14 miles in 30 minutes.
