I just got back from my second week of running, day one. It's actually only the second day I've been able to run. I opted to skip the rest of week one when I wasn't able to get out because of the weather. But since I found the first week to be relatively easy (I wasn't even sore after that day, which if you've pushed yourself, you should be feeling a little sore) so here I am. And since I completed today with no problems, I think it was a good move.
Week 2 workouts involve running 6 intervals of 90 seconds with 2 minute walking in between. As always there's a five minute walk to warm up and to cool down. So you're moving the entire 30 minutes, and running actually about 10 minutes or so. I was doing pretty good. I felt good for the first two intervals, the third one was a little more of a struggle, but the fourth and fifth ones felt great. The sixth one was the worst though, as you'd expect it to be.
Body wise, I'm feeling pretty good. My right calf muscle is a little sore when running, it was that way last week as well. I made sure I stretched it really well, but it's certainly something to keep and eye on. And my antibiotics are kicking in on my stomach issues. I hadn't realized how bloated and sore my stomach had been (think constant dulling cramps...) until it's well, not completely gone, but certainly less severe.
So that's it. One day down, 2 more to go. Look back Wednesday for my next update. I'm going to hop in the shower now, I hear that Matt and Amelia are awake...so I need to take advantage of him being home!
Cheers!
