Today I started Week 2 of the Couch to 5K program. I ended up taking two weeks to complete Week 1 because I twisted my ankle and couldn't finish the last day, and I'm weird and didn't want to start Week 2 in the middle of a week. So I just ran a couple extra days on Week 1 - extra practice can never hurt!
Week 2 is 90 seconds of running alternating with 2 minutes of walking. That is a 30 second increase in running, and I was pleasantly surprised! As far as stamina goes, today was great. By the last run I was starting to get kind of tired, but that extra running really wasn't that hard. In fact, I'd say today was easier than both times that I ran last week.
My problem seems to be that random body parts hurt when I run. Today my knees were hurting me, but not enough for me to stop. I'm trying to be light footed and conscious of how I'm running so that I don't injure myself again, and new running shoes should help once I get them.
So that's how the running is going.
Also, we might be getting a dog soon! We visited a local animal shelter on Saturday and found a dog we would love to take home! We are just waiting on more information about him, because he was new to the shelter. We fell in love with him so we are crossing our fingers that all goes well and we can adopt him soon! I'll definitely post pictures if we get to keep him.
