Just gonna do it.

So I'm thinking about trying Week 4 today.

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes) Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

 I'm still unsure about it.  Not sure I'll be able to do it...but I'm going to try.

I discovered, on Friday, if I slowed down my pace for the 3 minute run, I could do it.  It was still tough, but it was easier.

I'm afraid I'm going to get stuck on Week 3 if I never attempt to do Week 4.  I am only going to be able to run twice this week due to being busy on Friday and not being at work, where I use the gym.  So I was thinking that if I did Week 4 today, I could take it slow and then next week, repeat.  So I'd do 5 days instead of just 3, because I have a feeling I'm going to have to repeat a week, anyway.

I watch people running at the gym...middle aged men, young men, young ladies...and I just can't even imagine doing it.  I'm 34...and to see a 50 something year old man just book'n it on the treadmill...I feel like a loser.  If a middle aged man can do it...why can't I?  I can't imagine getting to the point where I can just jump on the treadmill and run.  I feel like it'll never happen to me.  I envy them.  I know, logically, if I just keep up with it, eventually it'll happen - it just seems so unattainable right now.  I want it so badly.  Just worried that it won't happen.  Again, logically I know it will...if I keep up with it...but its still a very real fear for me right now.

So, today I'm going to give it a shot.  We'll see.  I might not be able to do it...but I'm going to go into it thinking that if I push myself, I'll be able to.

Wish me luck!
