1 more day down! I am almost halfway done! Feeling so good. I actually did this yesterday, but didn't have time to blog about it. I'm still struggling with my breathing, but I can see that I am doing better every single time. I know that it will come! A lot of times I feel like my legs are doing great and could go even farther, but my lungs are just not cooperating. One step at a time, I will accomplish this! Today I still did need to adjust my jog speed a bit throughout the long jogs, but I never stopped. That feels great. Also, I did end up adding an additional minute of walking time between the last 2 jogs. I just didn't feel like I was ready to start that last one. My heart rate was still sky high and I was still really out of breath. That additional minute of walking worked perfectly and got me ready for the last jog.
I'm kind of debating if I can speed up the program a little bit. I work out every single day, so why not jog 2 days in a row? I think that I might just need to listen to my own body, see if I can handle that or not. I would like to be done with the program by Thanksgiving so that I can do my first 5k that week, but if I stay exactly on track with this I will just barely finish in time. But if I have to repeat any days, I wont be done in time. BUT if I occasionally work out 2 days in a row, it'll give me some cushion to be done by Thanksgiving. I don't know, I'm still trying to decide what to do. I'll probably just go for it one day and see how it works out. If I majorly struggle then I'll know that two days in a row wont work for me!
