Almost a Couch Potato

Well, I went at it alone today. I have to go right after work because if I get home, I know I won't do it. And I remembered my watch, so I actually timed myself - yay for me. And I think I did pretty good. Here was my routine today:

Warmup 7 min
Run 1 min
Walk 2 min

I repeated the run/walk cycle 4 more times and then walked for my cool down for 7 minutes. My calves are throbbing as I am typing this, but I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of myself. That's almost 30 minutes of activity and I did not think I could do that much running.

So, according to the original couch to 5K plan, I am almost to their starting point, which is warm up, run 60 sec., walk 90 sec., repeat. Maybe next week, I will graduate to Couch Potato.
