Rather stupidly I went running tonight even though my knees are very painful. Even though the programme allows for a 2 day gap between runs, I am going every other day so I don’t lose momentum/ interest. I ran carefully, slowly, close to the ground. It hurt my knees. And now I can barely walk and stairs are a nightmare. What possessed me? I was already limping on both legs. Doh. What happens now? :(

Aarghh. I ran tonight, this set seems quite easy – the 2 min walk is too long. I am finding that I can’t concentrate on running for 90 secs though, even though tonight it was fine stamina-wise. I kept slowing down and then catching myself. Lol I’ll never win a race! But now I have big blisters on both heels, and sore knees:( I wore different shoes as my others are making me roll in on the right as they are worn out (and not made for running anyway). But I soon felt them rubbing my heels. I am not sure what it says about me that I decided I’d rather continue running with blisters than quit! For the 5 min cool down I took off the shoes and walked home in my socks. I’m annoyed as I had planned to get running shoes fitted tomorrow and now I can’t because of the blisters. Grr! I’m concerned about my knees though. I might see if I can patch up my heels and go shoe shopping anyway as I will be running again on Monday.

I totally rock, week 2 is 90sec run and 2min walk and I did it! My running definitely gets ragged towards the end but I didn’t feel like I had to stop. It was actually over really fast! I weighed myself today, which was an unmitigated disaster but hey, at least I can see how much work I have to do. Thinking positive! (Trying)
