Done with week 3!!!

Today was my last workout of week 3. I was nervous going into this week but it went really well! I got up at 6 today and took Cowboy with me. We stuck to the streets since it was still dark and I remembered my cell phone so that was good. There are two great parts about running w/ him. He keeps my walking pace up there, especially the first half, and he's so vigilant that I feel like I can still safely listen to music without somebody sneaking up on me.

I added the extra 90 second set to the end so that I did more then 20 minutes of the run/walk split.

I'm pretty nervous about week 4. It looks like this (from http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)
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 really want to get a heartrate monitor but they're more then I need to spend.


I can't help but be a little bit frustrated. My scale has only gone down about 6lbs in the last 6 weeks but I can see and feel a difference in my clothes, and so can the ladies I work with. I guess that's all that matters, eventually the scale will catch up!
