Out of Retirement

Yep, as I stated earlier, I have started running. Started yesterday. Have to start slowly and I follow a schedule from a Running Book that I love. It helps prevent shin splints...something I had when I had originally started running and I absolutely HATED! They hurt terribly and you actually have to stop running for quite some time to heal. I just remember having to ice my shins after everytime I walked or ran. It stinks. But I have learned.
I actually started at week three from my book though since I am in somewhat good shape...
Here is the schedule
Week 3 Run 6 minutes, Walk 4 minutes, Repeat 2 more times
Week 4 Run 7 minutes, Walk 3 minutes, Repeat 2 more times
Week 5 Run 8 minutes, Walk 2 minutes, Repeat 2 more times
Week 6 Run 9 minutes, Walk 2 minutes, Repeat once more, Run 8 minutes
Week 7 Run 9 minutes, Walk 1 minute, Repeat 2 more times
Week 8 Run 13 minutes, Walk 2 minutes, Repeat once more
Week 9 Run 14 minutes, Walk 1 minute, Repeat once more
Week 10 Run 30 minutes
We'll see how it goes.... : )
