Hey all, did week 2 day 1 today, I think it was easier than I thought it would be.  I thought I had one more set and was ready to do it an the music stopped.  I liked this weeks podcast better as well except that he changed the signal and I was a little thrown by that but other wise an awsome start!!

In response to the collarbone ache, never happened to me, you do not have a seam or anything that is rubbing in that area do you?

Hi everyone, Smash, I will start w2d1 today and walk 5 minutes the jog 90 sec and walk 2 minutes. I meant I just can't imagine being able to run any amount more than 90 seconds. Of course, now I'm excited to see how I do. I really hope it's not too hard. Good luck to everyone this week.

So... I'm going to do W2D2 tomorrow. Day 1 felt pretty good, but I could definitely feel my out-of-shape-ness. I'm excited to get better! I'm using songs on my ipod to measure time, and upbeat songs with a running pace keep me going.

How is everyone handling week two? keep posting! Rah rah rah!

I did day 1 of week 2 today. I am hurting. I finished it but barely. My right shin has a sharp pain but only on the right side. Both calves and thighs are aching. I am walking a little slow. I am having a hard time slowing my pace and I think this is an issue. I have a very fast walk and when I go to run I think I am pushing to hard. Any paceing recomendations here?

Morning all, I will be doing W2D2 later today.  I will be doing it indoors today as I have a meeting this morning so I have to do it later while at the Y, but think I will do it on the track and not the treadmill.

Jerry, my shoes are good, after really looking at me foot, there is a bump on the outside of the heel and there is where the pain is coming from, not sure if it is a bruise or something else, if it is still bothering me next week I will go to the doc, but I really do not want to because I do not want to stop the program.

Prosopis my problem is the opposit of yours in that I am probably going to slow.  Sometimes my "jog" is no faster than a bouncing walk.  But I think in order to slow down your run you just have to really think about it while you are doing it and be aware that, whoops need to go a bit slower or the pain will come.

Just did W2D2 last night.  I got through it okay...

Good luck to all of you this week.  I am taking a break until Saturday....hope that doesn't screw things up...

Prosopis, on the treadmill I am doing a pace of 4.0 mph walk / 5.5 mph run... I am for sure on the couch potato end of fitness spectrum.  This seems to work for me so far and it keeps me in "exersize mode" during the walk, rather than cool down mode.  Last week I did one day on the track and I could not tell at all what my pace was.  Did D1W2 today and treadmill, and I much prefer keeping a consistent pace since I would like to have a rythm to my breathing and steps. I am going to try and keep the same 4.0/5.5 for the whole program.
