2nd time for C25K

[francesanna]

I did the C25k about 3 years ago and managed to get to run for around the 20 minute mark then for some reason in the middle of it (I have no idea why) I just stopped which was so stupid because I had lost 2.5stone along with dieting as well, I looked a lot better and I felt great, I have piled on the weight again plus an extra 5lb on top, I started again a couple of weeks ago and did what I did last time doing each week twice, which for me was better, this time however I have suffered very very painful Shins and the Achilles Tendon on my left foot is quite tender, I have only got as far as Week 1 Run 1 for the second week on the 24th August and I have stopped again for no reason, I know my legs were quite painful but as I got into the swing of each run they eased off and felt better although I suffered the following day, I seem to be self sabotaging for some reason, I would love to have someone to run with who is starting out as well to help keep me going but its difficult to find someone local and struggles as I am and doesn't mind if I can't keep up, I need to get fit for my hols next year to Australia as there is a lot to do, any ideas would be appreciated, I know motivation is what I need and obviously my holiday isn't enough to swing it

Thanks In Advance
