Day 26

W5D1 of C25k, 3 sets of 5min at 4.5 mph followed by 3 min of 3.7mph, 2.2 miles in 32 min.

Woke up at 5.30 AM to complete the workout, felt good after that. Now in the afternoon feeling so lethargic and sleepy.
Easy day tomorrow but the next session of C25k involves running for 8 min at a time. Lets see if I would be able to do it.
