Couch to 5K Workout 2

Two weeks down, only 7 more to go! Oh, and I'm supposed to jog for 20 minutes straight by the end of week 5??  Eek!! That's only three weeks away and I'm scared!!   

Week Two was a little more challenging than Week One.  This week consisted of a brisk 5 minute warm up, alternating 90 seconds of running and 2 minutes of walking for twenty minutes with a 5 minute cool down.   I completed all of the running intervals without resting, but I'll be honest, by about the 5th interval I was wondering when I would reach the cool down period (and still asking myself how I'll ever run for 20 minutes straight).  I ran two of the workouts this week on the track and one on the treadmill.  So far my preference is on the track. Surprisingly enough, I can still keep a good pace and end up in the same spot for each interval.  And the fresh air is nice.

So far is this ish ain't easy, especially if you've never been the athletic type. But I'm going to keep at it because I'm determined to run a 5K this year!
