Barmymoo:
That's what the podcast guy says. I don't think I was putting enough effort in really, but my knees were hurting a bit and I was really going so that I didn't just get so far behind I gave up.

Redball:
Looked at coming a.m. temps and decided to run in today's early a.m. 60F instead of tomorrow's 68F.
After a comedy of errors, resembling a typical dream of continual frustration:
Friday: Went to a friend's for Happy Hour. Returned home.
Saturday, had a meeting at the same friend's home at 9 a.m. I was late. Couldn't find my wallet. Drove the 14 or so miles anyway.
Found the wallet by a picnic table we'd used for happy hour.
Time to leave. Couldn't find my keys, in the car, on the ground, in his home.
He drove me home. I had locked my house. I don't usually. I called a neighbor on my cell to her cell. She was away, but told me how to get into her house and where my key would be.
I collected the key, found my second set of keys. My friend drove me back to his house to collect my car.
Back at home Saturday night, I couldn't find my cell phone. It's in his car. I may collect it today.
So without the iPhone, I wrote out a timetable for W4R1. It worked quite well.

Barmymoo:
Hooff. Just did the first run of week four and it was a push, but not hard. There was a brief moment in the last five minute run when I thought my legs were aching a bit, but I didn't feel like I needed to force myself to keep going. Considering I cycled to work and back today, I am calling that a triumph! Still don't feel like a Runner but I don't feel like it's impossible that I'll one day call myself that.

Just did Week 3 Day 1 (1.93 mi, 14:30 min/mi) and holy wow 3 minute runs is a whole 'nother. We cut our loop through the apartments short and went straight home - usually we go all the way around and finish the cool-down on the path back to the house. Probably doesn't help that it's currently 77*F with 95% humidity, and feels like it.

Redball:
W4R2 in mid-50s, breezy, dry, perfect weather -- and my legs are telling me I need more lifting strength, i.e., some squats.
