I can do it, I can do it!

That's what I keep telling myself at least.  LOL  Today starts Week 2, Run 1 of the C25K.  Today I start the following:

Brisk five-minute warm up walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

 I'm nervous.  For the past week its been run for 60 seconds and walk for 90.  That was tough.  By my last run, I made it through better than my first.  Or course, that is how its supposed to work...so I shouldn't be surprised.  But I was just making it through.  It was easier...but not easy.  If that makes any sense.

I keep thinking "How am I going to run 90 seconds when 60 was killing me by the last 10 seconds."  Honestly I don't know how I'm going to do it - but I'm going to try.  I'm hoping its going to be like my first day running...that I felt like I was going to die, but I pushed through and somehow did it.  I'm hoping I'll complete it and each day it'll get easier.  Again...that's how its supposed to work, so we'll see.  I keep reminding myself that even though the run time is longer, so isn't the walk time.  So I have longer to catch my breath.

I'm nervous and anxious and excited all at the same time.  I just keep repeating to myself "I can do it, I can do it!"

If I don't check in again by this evening, I've died.  I've fallen off the treadmill, gotten skid marks on my face and am dead on the floor next to the treadmill.  Send help!  LOL
