I woke up this morning so sore. I don't know from what, I think it was just all the accumulated stress from the last few weeks. Last night was the 3rd grade musical production, so with that weight off my shoulders, I came home last night and just crashed. As a result I've felt tired and sore all day. I really, really, really didn't think I would go out for the run today. I had every excuse not to, some of them very good. Yet, somehow it just happened. I just went out and did it. And I'm glad...mostly because it's over and I'm still on schedule.

The last 3 minute interval felt so long. Towards the end I was ready to throw in the towel, I was just bored of it, then the countdown started happening and I ended up running for an extra minute afterwards just to prove that I didn't need to stop.

This whole experience has just been about challenging myself and my own perceptions about what I can and can't do.

Anyway, Week 3 is done and on to Week 4. Beginning with Week 4 the time spent running actually begins to outweigh the time spent walking. But, I've risen to all the past challenges and I'm confident that I'll get through this one too.

Week 3, Day 3: COMPLETE!
