i started week 6 today. run 5 min, walk 3 min, run 8, walk 5, run 5 and it was pretty easy. after running for 20 minutes it wasn't too tough. although my knees are starting to hurt. they don't hurt while i run, but once i'm done they hurt a little. nothing unbearable, or even enough to make me say "ouch" but a little uncomfortable.
where are you guys?
ok - i'm saying ouch now. going down stairs is no fun, and i think i'm going to have to make an effort to walk around throughout the day so they don't get stiff. they hurt when i woke up today after a night of no movement.
ReplyDeleteOh no sissy! Maybe try icing them and take some advil (reduces swelling and inflammation). Take a day off too perhaps? I ran on Saturday and haven't been back out since. My heels have been achy after my runs. But I've done 2 of the 3 workouts in week 3 of the 10k plan. Planning on completing it today or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh no Kristi! This sounds very, very familiar. That going down stairs is the worst. The thing is when you go down the stairs one at a time, people think you're injured. When I go down one at a time, they think I'm old!! Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh no Katie! That heel thing isn't good either. We all need to be careful and listen when our bodies are talking to us.
Your mommy has been sick this week. I have a nasty chest cold. So...I haven't been to the gym in awhile. I am starting to feel better. One good thing about this illness is that I haven't felt like eating. The only things I want are hot soup or cold beverages. I've lost a few pounds and so have made my first goal. I hope to get back to my exercise plan soon.
momma - that's a terrible way to lose weight. you need to eat! i hope you feel better soon. my knees are feeling a little better today, but the stairs still hurt to go down. i think i'll skip my workout today or try to do some stuff at home that won't affect my knees. I missed my personal training this week since i'm out at dad's so i could use a little muscle build up. also i think i'll go to runner's high this week to get some new shoes or at least some inserts. we have 11.5 weeks until race day - is it too early to start a countdown?
