W6 D1

As I've read from other C25K bloggers, W6 D1 was suprisingly tough(ish) even though W5D3 was a longer run. I didn't really have any problems with finishing, but the first 5 minutes was pretty tough. Just like it was last week. And just like it will probably always be (it is, after all, a Natural Law of Running).

This was the first run I did without music, as I convinced my roommate to come with me. She did really well considering she doesn't ever run - She made it through all 3 segments ... in fact it kind of made me feel a little lame that it took me 5 weeks to get to that point. Oh well. Good news is she might possibly run the 5K with me.

Pace was slightly slower -- we did about the same distance I covered in my 20 minute run, except today it was 24 minutes. I blame this on the walking ... which wasn't so brisk. haha.

Tightness in the calf ... again. No pain though. I wore new shoes. They're identical in every way to my normal shoes, just ... new. I don't know if that helped but I felt a little more stable.


Question of the Day - What are your thoughts on shoelaces?? I feel like my shoes aren't tight enough, but I also know that your feet swell, etc. when you run so they shouldn't be too tight .... I'm perplexed. haha
