Week 4 Session 1

Nearly half way through my 9 week plan (to reach 3 miles non stop) and the increase in distance and shorter walk breaks are beginning to tell a little.
This week its obligitory 5 min warmup walk then 3 mins jog, 90s walk, 5 mins jog, 2 1/2 mins walk, 3 mins jog, 90s walk finishing with 5 mins jog.
The evening was nice and cool, but definately not cold with no wind at all. Just for a change decided to take my ipod and run along to Red Hot Chillies, it certainly passed the time!Everything was going fine until i misread the last 90s walk and naughty me took an extra 60s, then halfway through the last 5 mins took an extra 30s walk break. I'm taking the view that i'm doing this to lose weight and should at least enjoy it, rather than pushing too hard, getting fed up and going back to my old ways.
Only time will tell. Hopped on the scales this morning, 229lbs. When i originally started jogging 6 weeks ago i was 252lb. Still big but going in the right direction.

Yes you are Gary, and EVERYONE makes adjustments to their running schedule. It's all about the journey, and you need to enjoy the journey.
