what i got today was tight calves, achy ankles, heavy feeling legs. i felt like i was not in my own body- but the body of an old lady. ack! that can't be me! can it? dammit.
but i did my little program. this week - the 4th week of the couch-5k program: 5 minute walking warm up, 3 min. run, 90 sec walk, 5 minute run, 3 min. walk, 5 minute run, 2.5 minute walk cooldown. i made an effort to stay on flat dirt trails today, even if it meant i repeated back over the same terrain several times. if i came to a hill, i gave myself permission to walk up it. i wanted to take it easy on the old legs. cardiovascularly, i had an easy time. that was heartening. but the legs were telling me no, no, no!
oh well! today wasn't a good running day. but i'm psyched! that means that a really good one is in the future.
