Made it through day 2 on Wednesday. I went on the treadmill for the 30 minute run instead of doing it outside and while it was easier to keep my HR in check it is still hard to run for 30 consecutive minutes. Hopefully after a few weeks of consistent running at 30 minutes things will become a bit easier and I’ll be able to get to the 5K distance. Tomorrow will be my last day of the couch potato to 5k program, I will have “graduated” and going forward my focus will be on getting quicker as opposed to just getting through the run. 
Once again the statistics I have are with an uncalibrated foot pod accessory for the Garmin Forerunner 305 so I’m not sure how accurate the data is, besides the HR of course. I’ll probably end up on the treadmill again tomorrow to finish the program but I’m definitely going to make sure I make it through the run. I hope to post those results tomorrow but it may be sometime over the weekend that the results actually get posted.
Garmin Forerunner 305 stats for todays run:

Wow you are almost done with the program
Do you have any idea yet what kind of training program you’ll be following after you’ve been doing the 30-minute runs for a few weeks?

Hi Daisy.
Right now I’m just planning on getting through 30 minutes consistently three times a week for the next month or two in order to build my endurance. After that I’ll look into what my next training goals will be.
Thanks for leaving the comment and sorry it took so long to respond!
