c25k week 4

I'm sure a lot of y'all are wondering how I am doing with c25k...

Well tonight M and I finished week four day one. I think this was the hardest one yet. I was dying the whole time. I kept telling her I can't do this. I have to stop, but I kept going... I was going slow, but I kept going. And we finished. I don't think I've ever been so proud of myself as I was tonight for pushing through that run. 

M has so much determination and is in so much better shape then me. She runs ahead of me and sometimes even runs laps around me. She's talking while I'm huffing and puffing. She's checking out all our neighbors Halloween decorations and I'm seeing spots! I want to hate her for it, but it's what keeps me going. I look up and see her going strong and I think "who is she to outrun me?!" lol No. I'm glad I have her running with me. I don't think I would have made it this far... I know I wouldn't have made it this far and I feel myself getting stronger. Just 3 weeks ago I was struggling to run 60 seconds, now I'm pushing 5 minutes. 

Another thing keeping me going is the 5K we signed up for. We thought it might be motivation to kick our butts in gear and not skip a week if we signed up for a 5K that would happen right at the end of our C25K program.... At the time it sounded smart.
