I did one day of Wk. 6, Day 1, and two days of Wk. 6, Day 2. Day 2 was running 10 minutes (about a mile), walking 3 minutes, and then running 10 more minutes. The first day I did it, it was really hot, and I had some difficulty. Today, it was hard, but I just did it. It was awesome and strange to be out there today knowing I was running about a mile at a time when 8 weeks ago I couldn't run even a minute! I'm going to wait two days until starting Day 3 of Week 6 . . . and from then on out, I will only be running, not walking anymore (except for warm-up and cool-down, of course), starting with 25 minutes at a time.
Crazy!
I have to start waking up earlier to go out. Even at sunset it's really warm in Georgia right now, and though I was raised here, I don't love the heat, and if it's hot when I run, I feel ill easily. I'm hoping I'll keep adjusting to the heat as I get better at running. But I'm also going to have to start waking up early to make time for it in the mornings on a regular basis, I think.

I think you're becoming a runner! That's fantastic!
I hate running in the heat... it gets very hot here in the summers too and it seems to make running that much harder. I should go in the mornings, but that would mean getting up in the morning...
Running in the heat is so hard, and you're doing great!!! Keep it up!
And I don't think that you're becoming a runner - I think you already are, and have been for some time.;-)
I just got the Nike + iPod thingy as a gift this past weekend, and think that it will be very handy for my running...especially with the intervel timers - I'm all set!
Keep up the great work!
