Couch to 5K - Week 4 (and no Week 5 yet)

I completed Week 4 last Friday and I have to say it has been my favorite thus far.  It had a good flow to it and I never felt like I was jogging for as long as I was.  

Each workout consisted of a 5 minute warm up, two intervals of a 3 minute jog, 90 second walk, 5 minute jog and 2.5 minutes walking with a 5 minute cool down.  The five minutes went by really fast - so fast that during workout 3 I accidentally hit pause and ran for almost 8 minutes!  I was a bit winded after but I did it so I know that when I actually start Week 5, I'll be ready.  

I say when I actually start Week 5 because I've been fighting off a cold all week and haven't worked out.   And, I'm leaving Saturday to go on vacation to New Orleans!!!!  Woo!  So I've decided to repeat Week 4 when I return since I'll have lost a little endurance and want to be ready for the 5 and 8 minute jogging intervals.  

I have to admit I've missed working out.  Melinda in February 2009 would have never said that.  Thank goodness for lifestyle changes.
