C25K Check-in Week 4

Pretty good week.  Was afraid of the jump to 5 minute running intervals...as scared as I am of the 8 minute interval coming next week.

Mon: 6mph run/3.1mph walk
Tues: 6mph run/3.3 mph walk.  458 cals, 2.4 miles, 31:24 mins
Thurs: 6mph run/3.3 mph walk.  361 cals, 2.32 miles, 38:17 mins (different treadmill, so the calorie calculation is different...)
Then, in a twist of fate, I added a FOURTH RUN!!! 
Sat: 6.6mph/3.3mph walk.  4 min walk, 3 min run, 2 min walk, 6 min run!!, 3 min walk, 5 min run, 4 min cooldown walk.  434 cals, 2.5 miles.

Scared of week 5...but I believe I can do it...I think I can.  I think I can...

Boy, did reading your post bring back C25K memories from this past fall.  Every week that passed I was exhausted and thankful for what I had achieved, but terrified of what was to come the next week.  I had to fight through some serious mental blocks and some physical pain, but I was able to do it.  I believe in the program and I wish you luck getting throug it!  Keep your nose to the grindstone and it WILL happen.  
Today I did a 3 mile run, which was the culimination of the Week 1 of Hal Higdon's 10k Novice training program.  Give yourself a few months and you'll be amazed by how much stamina you have built up! 

Oh I hear you!  I just started week 4 today and I was terrified of the 5 minute runs!  I did them though.  I did cut a 3 minute run a little short because I knew I would need that extra time to recover for that last 5 minute run.  When I hit day 2 I'll be able to do it all!
