run 5 miles without stopping

Hi!

Had a great week with this goal. The first day I did my run one minute, walk 4 minutes, I could barely finish. rounds five and six were tough! I felt dizzy, and such.
Today, I did my third day, and could easily finish it. in fact, I went over the minute a few times. I walk fifteen minutes, do the run/walk part, then walk fifteen. I walked an extra 10 minutes at the end today. Had an endorphin high going!

This week I run 1.5 minutes, then walk 3.5 minutes, x 6. for three days. My days are tues, thurs, and saturday, this week. Will check back after this week is out!!

I found a walk to run program on the net, that has you running in 12 weeks.
I can already walk 4.5 miles in an hour, so I am not totally out of shape!
I need to find some kind of a timer, though. I have just been doing the walk run thing as I felt it.
week one is: walk 4 minutes, run 1 minute x 6.
I will just put that in the middle of my walking. No problem, right?
Plan to do 3 times this week, and report back next week! : 0 )
