9st 10 (1 on at WW) So both results this week disappointing, maybe the Belvita biscuits weren't the blessing I thought they were! It's the first time in a long time I've had an unexpected result at WW, I genuinely thought it would be a loss, and the same this morning, even tho I did scoff a few Easter cakes yesterday that I could have done without, but luckily (!) they're all gone now! I have struggled with only the second week of couch to 5k training, I did go Monday, when we ran on grass to have less impact, but my knees were burning so much that we only power walked it Wed, just did the final 90 sec jog, and yesterday we went for a longer walk to and from a cafe for lunch, but not at any speed. I am sure that any new runner could expect some discomfort, but how do you know the difference between expected adjustment, and the point at which you should stop because you're not cut out for it and risking damage? I liked the idea of achieving the 5k as a one off although I have no intention of becoming a runner any more than that, but it's just not worth the risk of damage to me. I'm so grateful for my health and the abilities I DO have with my spine issues, that I don't want to jeopardise any of that just for that one off achievement. I enjoy walking so much, I don't want to risk that. I had a massage Thursday and she told me my knees and connected spine areas were clearly not happy, and that if I needed a voice of authority to tell me to stop, she was happy to be that voice. I feel pathetic cos I didn't even finish week 2 for goodness sake, so I'm torn about whether to stop or whether to wait a week for my knees to recover and then start again etc... Maybe when they say to have the rest day in between I shouldn't swim or walk those days, but that feels like a sacrifice too. Gah! Anyway, sorry to waffle on, have a lovely Easter everyone, don't go too mad!
