I just finished my 3rd running day of the first week of the C25K! It actually got a lot easier and this was the first day I didn't get shin splints! Big grin

Good job! I remember the beginning of C25K - every run was a step in a new, better, healthier direction. Enjoy! New runner tip: toe taps really help with decreased shin and calf soreness. Just tap your toes up and down while you're sitting doing whatever. Sets of 50 'till you want to quit.

I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

GOOD GOOD GOOD -- you have a really nice start. Be cautions and remember that the biggest mistake a beginner can make is to get too confident and decide to do too much or skip a few weeks... Stick to your C25K -- and you will be joining us in races very soon.....

Yay! 8 more weeks and you'll be a grad.! Any Spring 5k races looking appealing to you, yet?

Thanks everyone, I've been looking around at races but I haven't found anything that I'm interested in yet but hopefully something will pop up soon.

Something will pop up, but dont sweat it too much.......focus on running and getting in you distance......when a race comes, youll have more fun if you're in better shape............
