C25K day 3: Week 1 complete

I just finished the first week of the C25K. I actually found it surprisingly easy today. If I didn't know any better I would have thought I had done it wrong somehow. The running intervals seemed to pass very quickly and with little strain on my breathing, and the effects on my legs today are virtually non-existent!

I'm keen to get going with week two, but I am going to stay strict with my rest days.
