Started 'Couch to 5k today' Anyone keen?

I'm checking in from the middle of the Caribbean! I decided to keep up with my training plan and actually ran a 10K on the jogging track. Took 23 laps, but it was fun!

Keep up the great work everyone!

Misty - be sure and rest and don't start back until you're ready! You'll probably need to go back a few weeks, but you'll progress faster since you've got some miles under your belt.

Tag Droppin! Just finished w8d1. It was a challenge. Got a cortisone shot this morning and back up on my prednisone. Muscles feel like Jello so don't know how the rest of the week is going to go. :-( With turkey day this week and then hubs & I are driving his parents to Az Friday & Saturday. I will fly home Monday so I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have.

Sounds like things are getting pretty rough.. Did your doctor clear you to keep running??? Tag

I didn't ask. I'm sure it's ok. It's a result of my surgeries in the last year. It will definitely make me think long and hard about any plastic surgeries.

Walked this morning and then did some resist bands and free weights. Anxiously awaiting dinner tonight. The son and daughter-in-love are having a gender reveal party and I get to find out what the next grandbaby "should" be. Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Redo W8D2 completed! After 6 wks on prednisone and my muscles feeling like Jello I'd say EXCELLENT!!

After running outside for the first time the other day I am feeling shin splints. Anyone else experience this? Is it ok to continue with runnning? The pain is not by any means excruciating just an ache but am concerned will I be causing damage to continue. Thanks for any info.

Shin splints are serious and are often caused by bad form. Take a couple days off and try taking smaller steps and reducing your pace.

Had that issue the first time I tried to run a few years back... Getting fitted for the right shoe and insert made a huge difference for me. If you have a place that can check that for you, and you can afford it, it will really help out.

Workout done, now to practice moderation!!

I've got a really good ebook about shin splints I can send you when I get back to land. It saved me a few years ago when I was ready to stop running because of them.
