Well today was attempt #2 at Week 2, Day 3... and it was better than the other day, but still not perfect. A little over halfway through I got a text from my boss that I needed to answer, so that paused my workout and then when I started back I thought it was on the walking part and it was on running, so I ended up skipping on of the runs and... excuses, excuses, I know. However, I did make 2 loops instead of 1, for a total of a little over 4 miles, and I did another couple of 1 min. runs at the end to make a total of 20 mins. or so of running. I've decided (even though this may not be the best idea in the world) that I'm going to keep running every day instead of every other until I can actually do this thing. I've basically got the next week off work except for taking care of their dog, so I'm really going to try to hit everything hard.
Also, I mentioned to my mom that we should do the FBC Clinton Hit the Bricks 5k on July 16... so that's 6 weeks from now (meaning I'll barely be done with this training program if I keep up with it... yikes!) I have a feeling I'll be walking at least part of it, but I think it'll give me a good sense of accomplishment just to do it. Also, my mom posted on facebook that we're doing it, so now there's no backing out... :/ Like I said, I'm really gonna try to hit it hard this week, both with exercise and diet, so I'm looking forward to good results.

10 minutes
Went running again yesterday and actually did the whole 10 minutes without taking a break this time. Once again, I don't think I really went a whole mile, but I'm ok with that. I did Week 2 (90/90) afterwards again, too.
I saw on the Fbc Clinton newsletter email that I still get that the "Hit the Bricks" 5k is in July, so I'm thinking about going home and doing that... we'll see.
I'm planning on doing the 10 minutes for another week or so and then start on the 5k training plan. Hopefully since I've already been tacking on some extra running at the end, it won't be too bad and maybe I can actually do it in the 8 weeks I'm supposed to instead of taking twice as long as I did with the 1 mile plan.
