How many are doing this program? Where are you right now? I need some motivation!

I'm on week 4 and it's kicking my a$$! The 2, 1/2 mile stretches are working me over. I should be on week 6 but I took two weeks off because I was sick. I think I may be at week 4 for another go around because I just don't feel like I can move on right now.

I suck. The end.

I just did day one of week 4. It' kicking my butt! I am so tired right now.
I'm not going to give up though. I actually don't mind doing it. It's much better since I've been doing it at night rather than at 4:15 a.m.

I just want to add that I started this program close to 2 years ago and I just started enjoying running about 2 months ago (or at least the rush I got from it)!! And now I REALLY like it...I truly enjoy running now.

I am still on it....I kind of stalled as well. I have modified it because I couldn't jump straight to 2 miles (without a break) like week 5 I think? So, I did 5 min, 2 min walk, 1 mile, 2 minute walk and 1.5 miles this weekend. I'm supposed to do 1.75 miles tonight. Wish me luck!
