I can say that this time was a bit harder than the last set like this. I am not sure why, it just was. I was thinking about next weeks schedule and the rest of The Couch-to-5K Running Plan and I was wondering how the heck I was going to do it. I am not sure where these doubts are coming from. I did not have them yesterday or the day before. I was thinking that I am only training for a 5K run and I am actually doing 5 miles.

But...I know I can do it. For gosh sakes, I am only on Week 2! I have until August 8th to get my training and I CAN DO IT!!!

I started reading The Non-Runners Marathon Guide For Women by Dawn Dais which is soooo hilarious. I am only on page 60 and I have laughed out loud numerous times. For obvious reasons, I have not encountered any of the problems she has as training for a marathon involves waaaaayyyyy more running then I am doing now but it is nice to know what I can expect when I get to more time running then walking. Thank you Dawn for writing this book and for all the tips that I have read so far. I cannot wait to read more!!
