I RAN!

I just went down to the basement to do the w4d1 workout. It's supposed to be done like this:

Workout 1 Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

• Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
• Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

But I knew the other gals were having trouble on that last 5 minute stretch, so I thought that I could maybe do it 5-3-5-3 instead of 3-5-3-5. So I walked my 5 minutes, then ran for 3 and felt really good, so I kept running to get to 5. At 5 minutes running I still felt pretty good, so I just kept on running. I ran a total of 20 (yes, TWENTY) minutes straight! 25 minute workout, 300 calories burned. 20 minutes running! I am in shock.

I looked it up, and instead of doing the w4d1 workout, I did the w5d3 workout!

Workout 3 Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog two miles (or 20 minutes) with no walking.

Wow!
