Couch to 5K Week 4.....You Suck!!!

So my Couch to 5K week 4 looks something like this:
Day 1-
10 Min warm up walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
2 X 3 min jog 60sec walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
10 Min Cool Down
Day 2-
10 Min warm up walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
3 X 3 min jog 60sec walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
10 Min Cool Down 
Day 3-
10 Min warm up walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
2 X 4 min jog 60sec walk
1 X 60 sec jog 60sec walk
10 Min Cool Down

The weeks before today the longest I ran was 90 second, which was fine, because just as I got sick if running I got to stop. Well not today. I had to push through that feeling of "I want to stop now" and it sucked.
I know most of you are thinking "quit your whining, it's only 3 minutes!" And for the most part I feel the same way, but the last time I ran 3minutes I was 14 years younger and about 70 pounds lighter. So 3 minutes is a big deal to me. But I did it today and I feel great. During the run I would be lying if I said the thought of quitting didn't pass through my head. I really hate running when I am running. But I have to accomplish this, and I will. Even if it means Hating every step across the finish line.
So my message to Week 4 is F*** You!! Because nothing is stopping this Mom!!
