Couck to 5K - Week 2 Day 1

Today I was up to the 2 minute run/ 1 minute walk routine. It began OK. Then by the second or third set I was sick of it. And I was ashamed I was sick of it. Two minutes? I was just running two minutes at a time yet it felt like 80. Once upon a time I ran 30 minutes on average. Once upon a time before that, I ran barefoot on the beach until I got tired. But now I'm struggling with two minutes? Looking at the watch at 1m:12s became my prescribed norm for this workout. It got to the point where I would think, "don't bother look at the timer...it's going to say 1m:12s."

But amazingly during the last four or five minutes, I got my second wind and it ended wonderfully.
