Good morning, Carol. I think I'm remembering that you're not exactly a new runner but are using the C25K program to help you recover from an injury and ease back into running. Is that right? I'm just a little concerned that you're jumping from 3 days a week with walk/run to 5 days a week that includes running without walking. You're doing so great on the program, but it's *designed* to be slow so that your body has time to adjust to the stresses you're putting on it. I know you're excited. It's hard not to be when things are going so well. Consider cutting back to 4 days/wk? At least for a few weeks? It would be a shame to lose any of the progress you've made. Last week, after having pain in my right foot, right knee, left knee, both shins, and a bit in the hips, I finally broke down and bought new shoes. I can't get more than 200 miles out of a pair of shoes. Good thing I run so slowly - that means I get a lot more *hours* out of them than most other people with the same milage. I ran in my new shoes on Saturday (after a few days off), and things were mostly better. I was impressed. I am hoping that it's not a fluke and I'll be able to run again this week. Goal for this week: 3 runs, about 10 miles, and no pain!
