Day one of week 4 was tough. I was supposed to do two intervals of: run 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, run 5 minutes, walk 2.5 minutes but I just wasn't able to get that 5 minutes done. I got the first 3 minute interval done, but the 90 second recovery just wasn't enough. So I ended up finishing my workout by running 90 counts and walking 45 counts for the entire period (minus the 2.5 minute recoveries). I feel pretty good that I kept on going, but I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to do the intervals as "written". It's my plan to do intervals of running 135 counts and walking 45 counts on Thursday then, hopefully, the written plan on Saturday. I don't know if I'll be able to do the plan for next week, but I can always repeat this week before moving on.
On another note, I did my run at Greenlake today because I've outgrown my little stretch of sidewalks up here by our house. I was a little self-conscious when I started my run, but besides probably making a few people think I was pacing them, I don't think anyone even noticed I was there let alone doing anything to "laugh" at.
