Today I completed day 2 of C25K. I'm still on the alternating stage of 60 seconds of running and 90 seconds of walking for half an hour, so it's still fairly easy. Not much to report there I'm afraid. Although I have noticed that I really need a sports bra; I'm spending most of my time running with my arms clamped to my chest to stop the, er, bouncing.
As part of my warming up, I'm using stretches to train myself to do the splits. Most people have one leg which is more stretchy than the other, for some reason. At the moment, when I have my left leg in front, I'm currently around 10" from the ground. With my right leg forward, I'm currently around 7" off the ground. I've been stretching every day for three days now, so we'll see how quickly it takes me to get down to the ground.
In trek news, today my walking socks arrived in the post! Exciting news, I know. It said on the website that they're for sizes 6-11. I'm a size 7 so I thought they'd fit me, but the heel is partway up the back of my heel. I hope this won't cause a problem :-/ I've added them to my ever growing pile of new kit; boots, gaitors, liquid handwash, water purification tablets, power adapter, zip-off trousers etc etc.
Not the most exciting of entries, but I want to update every time I do another day of C25K to keep me motivated.
