Training for a 5K

Started a beginner's training program that's supposed to have me ready to run a 5K in 10 weeks. You're supposed to alternate jogging with walking, and I think I was more running than jogging so my heart rate really got up there after 3 intervals of that. I walked briskly for the rest of the way, and I'll scale it back more for Tuesday's workout.

I feel really good though, and I feel like this is the start of getting me back into a regular workout schedule. I always feel better when I am, but it's just so hard to get started.

The training regimen I'm using comes from coolrunning.com, and it's called Couch to 5K. It's a 10-week program so hopefully by November I'll be ready to run a 5K.
