Week 5 Day 2

So week 5 is a big week in C25K.  When I look ahead at workouts, I am usually a bit worried, but week 5 is downright intimidating.  Day 1 is three 5 minute runs with 3 minute walks in-between.  Not horrible.  It actually went pretty well.  Day 2 is two 8 minute runs with a 5 minute walk in-between.  That was today.  I am super happy with how well it went.  The first run was a piece of cake.  The second one got harder around minute 4, but I finished strong and was super proud when I was done.  Since I run so slow, it means I ran a bit over a mile, but I am still proud.  BUT, next up is 20 minutes running nonstop.  Now, I have learned to have faith in the program, that it has prepared me for each work out.  But for me running is all mental now.  Sure my legs get tired and I am breathing heavier by the end of each run, but if I get it in my head that I won't make it, I won't.  I have to tell myself that i can, multiple times during and before the runs to make it happen.  Its silly, but thats the truth.  So, I CAN do this 20 minute run and afterwards I will be so very very happy.
