I stopped by a highly-recommended running store yesterday and picked up a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 12 running shoes. (I had a hard time deciding between that and a pair of Saucony.)
I had originally planned to do my C25K session at night, after my son has gone to bed, but I couldn't wait to try out my new shoes! More than anything, I wanted to see if the pain in my shins (while running) would still be there. So I packed up my son and jogging stroller and headed to a nearby park.
I was very glad that I did not get the shin pains I was getting before. I did struggle at some parts where my thighs were feeling overtaxed and I questioned whether I can keep pushing the stroller. I tried to remember to not grip the handles so hard, and to my surprise, I felt the run was a bit easier if I pushed with one hand while letting the other arm move along with my stride.
Week 2, Day 1 was definitely challenging. I'm sure I can complete two more sessions of it, but I'm a bit fearful of Week 3: I have to survive jogging for a whole three minutes! Yikes!
