• Walk 90 seconds
• Jog 5 minutes

W4D1 - July 6
It was off-the-hook amazing. Absolutely the best day so far. The intervals were easy. 5 minute run? No problem. When Chubby Jones on my podcast would say an interval run was done, I thought, "Already?"

When I had completed the full routine, I wasn't ready to quit. I switched my MP3 player over to a couple songs, and did ANOTHER INTERVAL of 3-minute walk/3-minute run. And even then I could have kept going. Unbelievable.

W4D2 - July 8
I had a little trouble getting going. Sleepy and achey and plagued with "I can't do this" thoughts. Then I hit my groove and felt fantastic. I just can't get over how amazing it feels to run for 5 minutes! And once again I was not ready to be done after the intervals so I added a 3-minute walk/3-minute run interval! I honestly was thinking, "Do I really have to stop now?"

W4D3 - July 9
I'm not sure what week/day of C25K I did this morning. (ha!) It should have W4D3 but I skipped the 90-second walk between the 3-minute run and the 5-minute run, so what I did was 9.5 minute run/2.5 minute walk/9.5 minute run. Yeah, I ran for almost 10 minutes! That's freakin' CRAZY! (Distance: 1.5m)
