Keep Trying!

Yesterday I attempted the Week 3 portion of the Couch to 5k plan.  I didn't do so well!  This was the plan:

Walk for 5 minutes to warm up.
Run for 90 seconds.
Walk for 90 seconds.
Run for 3 minutes.
Walk for 3 minutes.
REPEAT.
5 Minute cool down walk.

Here's what I actually did:
Walk for 5 minutes to warm up.
Run for 90 seconds.
Walk for 90 seconds.
Run for 2 minutes.
Walk for 2 minutes.
Run for 90 seconds.
Walk for 90 seconds.
Run for 90 seconds.
Walk for 2 minutes.
Etc,, until I had done 20 minutes of run/walk.  Then I continued walking at the same speed until I completed 2 miles.  THEN the cool down walk for another quarter mile.

SO, it looks like it's going to take me a while to get comfortable with the Week 3 plan!  I may be on Week 3 for three or four weeks!  I'll keep trying!
