Really felt the lack of exercise during the week. :(

Doing the first run of c25k with a friend who’s starting and wanted company. Not sure I’m any good at running with other people – I don’t like the way it distracts me from my own rhythm. Even though the company was nice.
Knees are *knock on wood* feeling GREAT. But I’ve had about enough of this snot – it’s making me tiiiiiired.

Feeling fatigued from constant allergy issues… wonder if I actually have a cold? Either way: boo to lack of energy.
But it’s still very nice to be out and running/walking about regularly again. Still no knee pain, so feeling pretty optimistic about returning to proper running. Might continue with c25k til end, though, as I like the structure.

Lots of fun, lots of intense dancing. Sore knees the next day, but not in a major way. We’ll see how thing shape up on Monday.

chilly and rainy, but: new tracksuit pants! Had to fang it to catch the lights and nearly kicked my own arse. No aches in the bodgy foot, no knee pain, nothing but persistent allergy snot (which is NOTHING!).

Nice, slow walking in the sun.

Dancing! Adrenaline! YEAH!
I am still really enjoying the increased control running gives me when I dance. And the energy!

Still doing the first week of c25k because it didn’t give me any pain the other day. Had shocking allergies last night, so a nice walk/run in the sun helped get rid of the snot, but kind of made me tired. Not sure whether to keep going with the supergentle program or to risk it with something more…. Might keep it mellow for a month, til the podiatrist-enforced unloading period is done.

Did the first c25k run this morning because I _really_ wanted to get out and do some running but couldn’t trust myself not to overdo it. It was frustrating to have to stop running during the intervals, but the gentler program was a very good idea.
Now have about sixty million exercises and stretches to do post-running, so that takes me _longer_ than the actual runs.
It was very nice to get out again, and my knees feel ok atm. We’ll see how they feel tomorrow, though.
I think I’ll keep going with c25k from the beginning 3 days a week, but alternate it with some cycling and yoga to get a proper amount of exercise. If my joints can hack it. Will take it easy for now, though, until the podiatrist’s exercises get me full of strongs.
