Runs 2 and 3 were not so pleasant. My shins started hurting to the extent that I had to stop and stretch. But I completed both sessions, out of breath and feeling nothing but glad that it was over. I don't know if I'm running too fast, too awkward, strides too small, too big, whatever. Complicated stuff. I knew it would be hard.
After run 3 I felt sure that I'm unable to move on to week 2 of Couch to 5k and should instead repeat week 1. I ran this by Kirsty and she wants to push on. I don't want to hold her back and I don't want to hold myself back, so tomorrow I will try Week 2 - run 1.5mins, walk 2. (If I didn't do week 2 she'd do it on her own so I wouldn't actually hold her back, just feel shit.)
Incidentally, Susan are fanstastic. Just brilliant to run in. They even keep the feet ventilated.
My boss ran home from work today. The distance to his house is 12 miles; he was looking at routes to stretch it to 15. Yesterday I ran/walked 3km.
