Well, I almost made it through today. I did about 4 1/2 out of the 6 runs before walking the rest of the way. When I stopped running was about the time that I accidentally knocked the safety clip off the magnet and reset the treadmill. My calves were totally screaming and my ankles were hurting too. I wanted to push myself but my body did not apparently because I had major cramps in my calves afterwards even after stretching. I'm still getting slight shin splints even after the new shoes but I think that's the impact of my weight. I might do Week 2 again next week depending on how Friday goes. It took me quite a while to move up to Week 2 as it was considering I avoided running at all costs before this. But it is getting easier. When I started I couldn't get through the 60 second runs and now I'm up to 90 seconds at a time.
What really helps is that I have several friends who are in the same part of the program as I am so it's like I have people to root for and people that are rooting for me even though we're on opposite sides of the state. Go Erin and Aimee! We can do it!!!!
