Week 1 Day 3

Thursday. 5-minute warm-up walk, then alternating between 60 seconds of running and 2 minutes of walking for a total of 30 minutes.
This was the last of this type of workout, so I was pumped! I was not going to let a little rain stop me this time (it was POURING yesterday, so I had to postpone my workout 'till today). I had a pretty bad day at work, so I channeled all that adrenaline to running. I started off strong, with my Rocky Horror Picture Show station on Pandora to keep my company. I decided to take a slightly different route this time, so when I got to the spot where I normally turn around, I kept going. This made me run past not only McDonald's, but Rita's and Wendy's too. Pfft...who needs 'em?!
I slowed down a little bit when I rounded the corner past Rita's, but shortly after, the voice came on and said I was half-way. I got a sudden burst of energy and pride because even though my legs were burning, I knew I could finish strong. I turned down some of the side streets of Middlesex, and passed by a sweet old Asian man sitting on his porch. When he saw me, he smiled and waved, so I smiled and waved back. Totally made my day, and I got another enormous energy burst! Next thing I knew, "Livin' on a Prayer" came on, and I felt like I could take on the world!! Just then, the voice came on and said, "1 minute left." I was happy, but slightly disappointed...I kinda wanted to keep running!
The next set of workouts increases the running increments to 90 seconds...bring it on!!
