Some days are just What About Bob? days. What can I say? Today was one such day.
However, repeating the phrase above didn’t help me as much as my run, which, for the most part was fabulous. Today was my last day of intervals for Couch to 5k. I can’t believe it. It called for a 10/3/10 run/walk sequence. I did the first ten minutes with ease and I felt great! I’ll admit, I walked a little longer than the three minutes, but not much. The second 10 minutes was a bit broken. I ran about 5 before I needed a walking break…just about a minute, and then ran three more. So, in total, 18 minutes of running…I really should have tried to get those other two in…I probably could have done it. However, I had a pace of 14:44 (second best) for one of my longer distances. I’m still quite happy about it.
However, I am a bit nervous about my remaining three weeks. I’m supposed to run 25, then 28, and finally 30 minutes without any walking breaks. Not gonna lie. I’m bit scared. But I know I can do it. I know I can do it. I know I will do it. It may not be perfect, but it will get done.
Here’s to a great week!

Keep it up! You can do it! I have started my couch to 5K program as well and have to be ready by Oct 18. I am looking to the Fat Guy in a Little Coat for inspiration!

I found your blog from Superdave’s site and I realized we are on the exact same stage in the C25K plan! I’m running the 10,3,10 tomorrow morning myself. I’m a little nervous about doing the last interval too, but I’m sure we’ll make it through til the end! Peace!

You’re doing so well if you’re able to do stretches of running for 10 minutes already — you are making fantastic progress !
