Lesson Learned.

W1, D2. (Or is it Day 3, because yesterday was rest day?)

Today is my second time to go out and run. Whatever day that means that I'm on.

I noticed that after each 60 seconds of running, the circulation in my hands and arms was cutting out. Duh, Stephanie... stop clenching your fists. So, I stopped.

After running, I found a private, secluded spot and even danced. That was so fun!

I've had 33 ounces of water, so far. That's awesome, for me, since it's just past 8am. Usually, I'm waaaayyyyy dehydrated.

Well done for completing week 1 run 2.

Sounds as if it's going really well!

[stepher625 in reply to Ullyrunner]

Yes! It is. I love it. I think, tomorrow (rest day) I want to go walk the same distance. It's just fun.

Very, very well done.. on the water drinking and the dancing too!

The fist clenching... well someone posted on here to try and pretend you are holding a bag of crisps in each hand and you must not crush them !

At least you are not holding your breath, like I used to.. and I think our darling poppypug did similarly ???

[stepher625 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, really need to stop clenching. Sometimes, I do hold my breath, but it's becoming a necessity to breathe!

[poppypug Graduate]

Tee Hee ! Yes, there was far too much going on for my poor brain to take it in all at once

Well done Steph , keep at it ! And unclench your fists from time to time as it will relax you .

Good Luck ! xxx

Thank you! These are the muscles that hurt: biceps, abs, thighs. That's all normal, right? Am I running incorrectly? I think I need to YouTube and make sure I'm running correctly. It would suck, if I weren't. </neurosis>
