I started week 2 again since I have sneakers now. The sneakers helped so much! My knees did not hurt at all while running or even during the walks. My shins hurt a little during the first run, but nothing major (actually considerably less then they hurt during week 1, which was very little). I had to really push myself to finish interval 5 and 6, but it only happened near the end. I think when I was really pushing myself in interval 5, I only had about 10 secs left (not that I knew) and it was a bit longer in interval 6, but for those 2 intervals I was running up hills for part of it. I must take my camera out one day (not for a run) and take pictures to see if it shows all the hills that I have to run up. I never seem to have to run down them. LOL. Those always seem to fall on my walk intervals, but I don't notice the downhill walks as much as I notice the uphill runs. LOL.
Even tho this is my 3rd run for week 2, I had almost a week off in between run 2 and 3, so I will be doing week 2 all over again.

Yay....welcome back to the running world....
You must listen to Dr. Rona...It is all in the shoes....Proper shoes can prevent injuries....Next week, we will work on stretching....
I strongly recommend repeating the week. I think it will make week 3 easier.
I have been stretching and my legs feel great. Hopefully the stretching will continue to help. I don't stretch before since my bladder doesn't agree with my running, so I need to start running as soon as I am done in the bathroom. LOL.
