Well I finally completed my first run for week one. It was fine. My only complaint is about the volume on my MP3 player. LOL. I had to figure out how to change the volume when I got home, which is something I should have done before I went on my run. I had a splitting headache after only 3 intervals because it was max volume. I just kept switching ears then at the end, just took them out since I could still hear it perfectly.
My road isn't exactly the best road to start training on, but then again maybe it is. I will be so used to hills/inclines that nothing will faze me now. Luckily tho, none of my runs happened on the hills, but shortly after I walked up them, so that was a bit tough, but not as tough if I had to run up the hills. I will need to get better sneakers tho eventually. My little ones just don't cut it, and my shins were hurting after a few intervals, which I am only assuming is because there just is not enough cushioning in my sneakers. I do have to learn to pace myself tho. I was going faster then I should have I think, but I still did it.

Way to go!! Make sure you stretch after the run too cause that can make your shins hurt. :)
WTG - your resident occupational therapist concurs with the baby of the family, stretching is VERY important.
