I have been following the Couch to 5k program for over 4 weeks now & figured that I would see some progress by now, but rather than "dropping the lbs" (as my husband would say) I've gained 4 pounds! I'm trying not to get discouraged, but when you add to that the fact that I'm stuck somewhere between week 3 & 4 of the program, it gets depressing.
By the end of week 3, you are jogging for 3 minutes x2. Week 4, you jog for 5 minutes once. I can't get past about 4 minutes before I'm ready to fall over dead. I thought that it was because I had a cold last week, so I took it easy this week & just repeated week 3, hopefully I'll be able to get back on track next week.
In other news, I may not look like a runner, but I feel like one. I have the aches & pains, but more importantly, after I have on my shoes & shorts, I feel like I actually belong out there drenched in sweat. Maybe there is something to this "runners high" after all!
