just heard about c25k for the 1st time today. I am wanting to up my walking. After my 50th birthday and weighing in at 250+ at my Dr. Appt. I felt unless I wanted to become diabetic & old before I was ready, I had to do something. I started walking daily this summer and was going 3-4 miles most days. In Texas summer heat , it was challenging, but I stayed with it.when school started, I teach,

50 and over, 5k and beyond - what are your challenges?

When I got home, my feet were sore, which surprised me because they didn't hurt when I was running and they've never bothered me before. Then, the discomfort (wouldn't really call it pain) moved up to my knees, again which didn't bother me during the run, but they responded nicely to a couple of ice packs. That night and into the next day my hips started to get sore, and they responded well to some foam rolling and ibuprofen. Since it seemed that everything was moving upward I was half expecting a headache, but luckily that didn't happen and I had a good 5 mile run last night. The first 1/4 mile last night I felt a little like the tin man, all sore and creaky, but warmed up pretty quickly.
