C25K - Week 3

Yesterday I started week 3 of the program - 
5 minute walm up then 2 repetitions of the following
Jog 90 seconds
Walk 90 seconds
 Jog 3 minutes            
Walk 3 minutes
Then 5 minute cool down.
I was daunted by the 3 minutes - but they weren't that bad. 
I still can't fathom myself running 5 K. Something big to aim for.

My fibromyalgia/fatigue has been bad of late so my morning exercise is pretty much taking all my oomph for the day. Will persevere though - there has to be that time when the exercise gives me energy instead of taking all I have!

You Better Run

I made the effort to lift my two feet off the ground and started to run a little a few weeks back. Then I was sick - 2 lots of tummy bugs and a head cold - and the death to my short lived bout of exercising ensued.
In my angry phase I decided I would start the quest again and looked into some help.
I found Couch to 5K (C25K).
I have completed four sessions of the program - to find out more info check out the founding website here and another good website here.
I downloaded their app and it has been great.
My goal is to compete in the Bridge to Brisbane 5K section.

I hope running can be a tool for my recovery.
I hope I find that love runners seem to have.
I hope I stick with it.
