Week 2

So, I'm in week two of my training and it's going great!!!! I've decided to do the Couch to 10K. First, because I enjoy longer runs. Second, because I'm switching entirely to the Five Fingers. It's going to be a long road ahead, as this is a 14 week program. However, it's slow and at a pace that will help me get used to the shoes while also getting back in to running.

I'm headed out at noon today for week 2 run 2, which involves a 5 minute warm-up and then running 1 minute walking 4 minutes (8 times). It seems easy on paper, but those last two runs usually kick my proverbial ass. Sunday is the same work out.

So far so good. My calves hurt quite a bit. More than I remember them hurting during build ups, which I attribute to the shoes. They are training me to use my calves as the shock absorbers they were designed to be. Otherwise my body feels pretty good.
