Glad for once I didn't pay attention.

So, Week 3 Run 1 was on Wednesday.  I was under the impression that it was very similar to last weeks running, but with a shorter walk time.  Last week it was run for 90 seconds and walk for 2 minutes.  And I did that 6 times.  I thought this week was run 90 seconds and walk for 90 seconds, instead of the 2 minutes.  Seemed good.  Was glad it didn't change too much...thought it was kinda odd that the running time didn't increase, but whatever.

Well, Wednesday I jumped on the treadmill, opened the app on my iPhone and when I saw the breakdown, I nearly died!  Boy was I wrong.  It was run for 90, walk for 90, run for THREE MINUTES, walk for three minutes and repeat.

Three minutes!  Seriously!?  I was like - no way will I be able to do three minutes.  That is insane.  In my mind, I was yelling at the app and the program asking them what the heck they were thinking!  Three minutes?  How about two?  Nope...skipped right over that.

I almost decided not to do it.  I almost turned the app off, and switched back to last weeks run time, but I decided I should try.  And guess what?  I did it!! 

There were two three minute runs in total.  I was running at about 4.7.  On the second three minute run, half way through I had to slow it down to 4.3...but I did it!  Yay me!!  I was so proud of myself.  So proud.  Two months ago, I never could have imagined doing this.  But I am.

I'm kinda glad for once I didn't look ahead to see what Week 3 was because I probably would have not even tried.  I think being surprised about it helped.  I wasn't nervous about it all day like I probably would have been if I had seen it coming.

Today is Week 3 Run 2...and I'm scared.  But I did it Wednesday.  I can do it today. 

But...for the record...I don't even want to know what Week 4's run time is.  *faint*
