PhoenixAzul, OUCH! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care and follow your doctor's orders.
So, I started the C25K plan today... or rather, I tried to. By the end of my 5-minute warm-up walk (up a ~15-degree gradient - funny how you hardly notice it when you're driving) my feet were hurting. I stuck out 3 60-second jogging intervals but then had to walk the rest of the 20 minutes. I was wearing new shoes... maybe they just need some breaking-in.
I may have to stick with "Week Zero" for a bit, but I am out there and running for the first time since college!
I crossed paths with a few other walkers and joggers this morning, and they all said "good morning". It's nice to know I'm in a friendly neighborhood.
