Nice. Knee held up fine, especially after a good rub-down yesterday.
…though now I wonder if I was supposed to be doing run 1 of wk4 instead of wk3r3… ? Whatevs. Slow and steady is _definitely_ my mantra (although ‘gaining without pain’ might be good).
…looks like I’ve gotten all confused with the weeks and done run3 of week 3 twice, but not done run 1 or 2 of that week. I’ll try to remember to do the same run again on Wednesday (ie a third run from week3, as they’re all the same. I think). Doh.

Feeling pretty good, except I’ve just had no energy and been a bit puffy post-run. Not in a ‘I’ve run really fast way’ but in a ‘I can’t get any air’ way. I figure it’s just a cold or bug I’ve been battling.
Either way, the running itself is going fine, but I can’t seem to go as far as I usually do…

How could I get a shorter distance when I’m actually running _more_?
Whatevs. Running is nice. We are still pain-free and it is great. I’m gonna continue with the c25k to steadily build me up to previous levels of orsm and avoid injury. It’d be frustrating, if it weren’t for the fact that both my podiatrist and I are amazed that (with dodgy foot) I’m actually _walking_ without pain, let alone running. I am made of strongs, I think. :D

Nice.

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.

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.
