Light on my Feet- I think Not (yet)

After all the rain, the sun came out and we hit a high of 60 here today in NH. There was no way that I was going to run on a treadmill when I had sun. Only problem is that it's been a few years since I tried running. Today is a week two day for couch to 5 k and "they" are right about the difference between running outside and on a treadmill. It was really hard for me to run 90 seconds at a time between 2 minute walks and the runs at the last two intervals were more in the 60 second range. It's all good though, I will just repeat a week if I have to. But what a day to be out! I prolonged being outside by walking with a friend that I saw along the way and my 30 minute walk/run ended with another 30 minutes of walking, including a big hill. Then I went out after supper with my husband for another walk. All together, I think I put about 4 miles on my new sneakers today. I have got to keep saying that I will be running (soon). New Asics- good for my arches and an early birthday gift from my parents. Thank you Mom and Dad!

  6. Nice sneakers! I just bought a pair of Skecher's 'Shape-Ups' so far so good. I wore them for a short walk yesterday and my feet hurt. I could definitely feel that some different muscles were worked out. I have them on today at work and I'm feeling great, no feet pain at all which is great.
