C25K- Week 1 Day 1....

Last night I asked hubby to help me calibrate my Nike+ Sensor so that I wouldnt have any excuse to not get started on my new workout plan. So he tells me we need to calibrate it, its set on my Ipod, now you need to go walk, then run to set it. So I head out the door, thought I was calibrating the thing and somehow ended up on my C25K (Couch to 5K) week one podcast.... and off I went!! The voice comes on during the upbeat music and says to start out walking a brisk 5 minute walk, I thought okay, I can do that... then after the 5 minute walk, the voice says now start a slow jog for 60 seconds, keep your hands loose... ready, set, go!! So I went for it, I jogged the 60 seconds and felt good... then the voice comes on and says, now start walking again for 90 seconds... okay cool, I'm thinking... you can do it! KEEP GOING!! And guess what... I did! I alternated the 60 seconds of jogging with 90 seconds of jogging for 20 minutes and finished up with 5 minute cool down and I felt like Rocky... I did something Ive never done before... I didnt give up!! I pushed through on the last set, even though my calves were burning... I pushed hard and I didnt die... I felt so accomplished and proud of myself. Last night showed me I can do this... I just need to try. Oh, and as for the calibration, still not sure that ever happened cause I was too happy once I got home to let anything bother me.
