Got out there again this morning enjoyed run, but have some discomfort in lower legs, shins and calf's is this normal will it go away?
It's more sore than a pain, other than this run was fine i'm taking it nice and slow, my test will be at weekend i work 7am til 7pm and am planing to run pre-work!
i'm really not a morning person but then neither am i a runner so will be an experience but i'm staying positive and am just doing it rather than 'thinking'
Frankel , Hi and welcome to the C25K. I am just a beginner too, so I don't feel qualified to be giving out advice. However, I can tell of my limited experience.
I too had (and still have to a limited degree) shin pain. I took some advice from Hidden and got some good running shoes, that were suited to my flat feet, and the muscle pain reduced. I also strap my lower legs with compression supports, and this seems to help.
I also think that the initial runs were a shock to my lower legs, and as they are getting stronger they are better able to cope.
I also had aching shins, on the bone just below the knee in week 2. Being less bouncy and slowing down my pace seemed to help with this.
I usually strap ice packs to my shins (not directly onto skin!) for 20 mins after a run as I cool down with a drink of water and lemon.
I expect others will give more technical advice. Good luck with future runs, keep up the good work 
NOT thinking can be just the ticket sometimes. If we stop to ask ourselves, "Am I in the mood to go running?" we might never go.
All the best with your weekend - that's a long shift to work around for a run.
I know now that once I am changed into my running gear I am ready to go! A bit like Mr Benn (70's children's cartoon), I am transformed by the costume.
Maybe not a true runner yet, but it gets me out the door, ready to start! 
Mind Games and Motivation is half the battle for me
Before my time I'm afraid 
Early morning runs are brilliant! Set you up for the day..honestly!
Our bodies do protest a little at the unaccustomed exercise regime, it lets you know what is going on !
Good running shoes.. ( there are lots out there, and not all costing mega-bucks).. and as you are doing steady and slow
A good warm up, and then try to land lightly and gently; there can be a sort of heavy throwing of the feet down when we start... probably intense concentration
So, relax, and enjoy a gentle run...the not thinking about it follows... except the, " Gosh, Ican't wait to run again" thoughts, which are wonderful!
Let is know how you go ?
I had really sore calves for the first couple of weeks, especially W2R3 when I could barely walk never mind run. I then slowed down even more, and found the discomfort lessened - and yes it does get better. I graduated last week, and though I still have little niggles specially when I first set out, I can run for 30 minutes without my legs complaining too much. Good luck and keep going
Going for W2, R2 shortly and feeling tight
