Back on Couch to 5K Plan

Started following the Couch to 5K training plan again today morning, in an effort to improve my running.

Spent 28 minutes on the Treadmill today afternoon with the following pattern:
1-5 minutes : Brisk walk to warm up
5-8 minutes : Jogging at 10 minutes per mile
8-10 minutes : Walking at 15 minutes per mile
10-13 minutes : Jogging at 10 minutes per mile
13-15 minutes : Walking at 15 minutes per mile
15-18 minutes : Jogging at 10 minutes per mile
18-20 minutes : Walking at 15 minutes per mile
20-23 minutes : Jogging at 10 minutes per mile
23-28 minutes : Cool down at decreasing speeds
Followed by 5 minutes of stretching.

Total distance covered : 2.2 miles
Total time spent (door to door) : A little less than 50 minutes

Unlike the earlier assumption of starting in the 5th week of the Plan, this is more like the 4th week plan. It will be a good achievement if I can stick to the plan and be able to jog 3 miles in 30 minutes in five-six weeks' time!
