Thats right! I started week two. This means 6 intervals of 90 seconds running, 2 mins walking, plus warm up and cool down. That is harder than it sounds, especially when you dont run until the evening when I am already tired and sore. But i did it. J suggested changing the route slightly (he came with me tonight) to that in one area there was less of a slope which seemed to help a bit. But no, i did not complete all my intervals. One i stopped a bit early (i had a wicked side stitch) and one i kept tripping over my own feet so i walked for a few seconds to reconnect with my feet.
I did notice another change as well - I caught site of my mostly naked reflection on a surface and you know what? I am less wide than i used to be. Which was nice to notice.
I am still having a number of people email me regarding this program im doing. Some from people who want to run with me (but none of whom have actually committed to running when push comes to shove, but i do understand that its hard to work out the scheduling) and some from people telling me that they think the program is hard and encouraging me. Encouragement is always welcome and accepted - its nice to hear and to use to motivate my sometimes lazy rear end to get out there and get moving. It helps to know that someone out there expects me to be doing this and to keep me accountable when i lack the willpower to do it myself.
