Isn't that the truth!!! Despite my lack of posts I have been trying to get back into gear this week. On Monday morning I went out to finish week 4. It was awful! I do not know what was wrong with me but it was my worst run yet. Half my intervals I could not complete and a few I skipped all together. It was definitely a disappointment. But then I remember something a fellow blogger told me. P.S. She has a great blog. You can find her at http://seejenroerun.blogspot.com/. Anyhow she told that I need to go at my own pace. She mentioned a friend of hers, who also has a great blog http://www.carlyshrinks.com, had to do week one of from couch to 5K for three and a half weeks before moving on to week 2. So in light of that, and my tough run, I decided I should repeat week 4 this week. I ran again this morning. It was a lot better. I made it through my intervals and even got my pace average down a few seconds. I am going to run the last day of week 4 again on Friday and then hopefully continue with week 5 on Monday. Week 5 goes up to running 1:25 and lowering the walking breaks to 3:35.
One other thing she said, "I think it's better to be slow and steady and see small but meaningful progress. Going from running for 30 secs. to a whole minute within 3 weeks is significant! It's double!" Good point!
