Couch to 5K Week 4 kicked my booty!

So this weeks workout goes like this (slightly modified to make it easier to record the program on the Treadmill.)
  • Brisk 5 Minute warm up walk
  • Jog 3 Minutes
  • Walk 2 Minutes
  • Jog 5 Minutes
  • Walk 3 Minutes
  • Jog 3 Minutes
  • Walk 2 Minutes
  • Jog 5 minutes
  • (I walked another 6 minutes)
I made it 3.5 minutes and had to break for 30 seconds before I could finish the last minute. The really bad part was that the treadmill is downstairs and I had to about crawl up the stairs after I was done. It sucked! I am so not a runner. Joleane - I admire you. Running is hard. I might go back down to my Week 3 workout for tomorrow night.

    Oh, Elizabethie, you're so funny. I've been working on that Couch to 5K program forever. I've been on Week 5 for months now. I'm not much of a runner these days. I think I'm doing pretty good to run 5 mins. without stopping. I did a 5K in Jan. and walked 2/3 of it. I have one in March too. My goal is to walk less and run more this time.

    How do you keep track of what to do? When I'm out walking and trying to keep track of three minutes and trying to remember what to do next, and not trip over my own feet while I'm at it, it just becomes too much and I toss it aside and just keep walking. I really would like to run some, instead of always walking, but don't want to overdo. Keep up the good work. I'm impressed.
