It's about that time...

My shoes feel better today than they did yesterday. That's good. By the end of the day, my knees were killing me, but I guess that's normal. I mean, when I've walked "wrong" for most of my life, walking the way I'm supposed to is bound to hurt and use muscles I didn't use before, right??? The outsides of me feet still hurt pretty badly, but I'm thinking that will go away soon too!

My best friend and I are signing up for The Color Run in Indianapolis. She doesn't get paid until Monday and I refuse to sign up without her so... Monday it is. :) I've pretty much picked out a plan to train myself. It's meshing together Hal Higdon's 5K Novice Walk and 5K Novice Run programs.  Here is my plan, as long as Pam approves:

13	07/23	3 mile run	Rest/Walk/ Run	2 mile run	Rest/Walk/ Run	REST	5K DAY!!!

Sunday isn't listed because Sundays will always be a rest days. I have never worked out on Sundays and probably won't ever so I figured I wouldn't bother putting it on here. Anyway... What I have done is basically taken his running program, put five weeks on the front side of it and used Hal's theory (or what I make of it) to make a new 13 week plan as that's how many weeks I have before my 5K! Woot. Excited!
