I did a day of Week 3 of the Couch to 5k. Started out too hard on the first run considering I was 4 months out of shape. Luckily, I realized it and slowed it down a bit. Noticed my feet slipping in my shoes a bit and the old foot pain from December cropped up randomly. It all stopped when I took a few minutes to tighten my shoes.
A mile or so in, my back started hurting just like it did when I first started running. I had stretched before I ran, but apparently not enough. I'll have to do better next time. Luckily, the pain was gone by the time I drove home. Hopefully it will be like last time and after a few runs, my body will get used to it.
Biggest concern right now is that I have a 5k in 12 days and I'm pretty sure I won't be in any condition to run the whole thing. Hopefully, I'll be able to get myself to the point I can run 2 miles, walk a little, and finish running. I'll know more on Wednesday when I have my group run/training.
