I CAN Do This

Pardon me while I do my own HaPpY DaNcE... today I completed Day One of Week Three of my Couch to 5K program. I have always quit at this point because I just couldn't get through this workout. There's really no more total running time from Week Two to Week Three (in fact there may actually be less running time in Week Three's workouts), the duration of runs is just longer... THREE MINUTE RUNS. Three minutes isn't that long in normal everyday time, but three minutes RUNNING, seems like an eternity. (I realize that the duration of running will get longer in the program, but right now I need to wrap my mind around three whole minutes of running!) But, I did it. Every second of each minute was ran. I didn't decrease the speed on the treadmill until I heard the "ding" telling me to walk.

I DID IT! And I'm NOT quitting this time!
