I'm still running!!! This is the longest I've ever stuck with something. I gotta tell you, I feel better when I do it. Thanks to www.pinterest.com, I've found a lot of inspirational quotes to keep me going. I've also put post-its in my car to keep me focused. Of course, if someone walks by my car and sees "You deserve better" on my dash, they may be concerned about my love life. =)
I'm repeating week 2, which is s 90 second run, 2 minute walk. I'm less sore, although where I am sore is in completely different places. Who knew my calf could hurt where it attaches to my shin - not a shin splint though.
My new shoes are working well for me. I think they're working on aligning my feet, which could be the pain in my calf. They must be helping my speed too, because my best interval yesterday was 11:33! (That technically means I could run a mile in 11 minutes, 33 seconds. Technically.)
I set the app on my phone to let me know when I'm below a certain pace - I think a 14 minute mile. It kindly reminds me by beeping, and beeping, and beeping...I turned that thing off yesterday. Just let me pretend to run, don't remind me how slow I'm going.
I'm not getting any more distance on my runs (1.77 miles), but I'm still running, so that's at least something.
I've noticed when I walk I'm quite the clod hopper. I'll work on being light on my feet both when running and walking. If I get fit enough and can be light on my feet, maybe I'll get a spot on Dancing With the Stars too! HA!!!
