    You can do it! Don't stress about the pace. Eventhough my pace outweighed my expectations, I really tried to just monitor my breathing and slow my pace enough so I could complete the run.

    Day 1 done. And it actually seemed a bit easier than all of the other days. I'm not sure why. As I've heard even experienced runners say, you have good runs and bad runs... for whatever reason. Yesterday was just a good run and (fingers crossed) hopefully day 3 will be a good run as well. :)

    I found it easier than the previous weeks as well. For me, I think it is because there were less intervals. So once I pushed myself through the first couple of runs, there was only one left to go! As I believe most of running is mental (at least for me), it made the run seem easier.

    Ya, I agree, I think it's because of the less runs.... doesn't really make any sense but when you think you only have to run 3xs as opposed to, like, 9xs... it doesn't seem so bad. :tongue:

    Tonight I'm doing day 2. Yesterday I went to my strength training class and, for some reason, the teacher went insane last night!! She was screaming at us and pushing us really hard. It was alot more strenuous than usual. And today I am SORE. She said she wanted us thinking about her today... and I am. Not very kind thoughts either. No, actually I was thankful that she gave me a really good workout. I'm just hoping it doesn't make for a painful run tonight.

    Day 2 proved to be another comfortable run. Not much pain. In fact, the soreness seemed to go away while I was running. I'm very excited for tomorrow. I will be happy to do my 20 mins run and to be another week closer to my goal.

    Day 3 done! I am thankful that my C25K app tells me when I'm halfway done. It helped me to break it down into 2 very managable segments. I did just fine. It wasn't "easy" but it was too hard either.
