On paper, it seems the only difference between this run and the last one is a shortened walk interval between runs. However when actually running this, I was surprised at how much easier it was to *run*. I don't know if I was having an off day when I ran W4 D2, but I was definitely not counting the seconds until the end of the run, nor was I huffing and puffing quite as much, though it was nonetheless a challenge.
I'm quite excited by this. Which is good, because very soon those green bars won't be solid, but broken up into 1-minute intervals, running 10 minutes at a time. It still SOUNDS impossible. I have to get over this mental block in my head that keeps telling me, "There is no WAY you can do this." If you had told me in January that I'd be running/walking 2 miles three times a week, and that's only a small way to training for a half-marathon, I would have thought you were nuts. Even if you would have told me at my fittest I probably would have thought you were nuts. Running has always been *impossible* for me. Now it's not. I just need to adjust to this paradigm shift. ;)
