So, I finally got through Week 5 of Couch to 5K and I’m happily onto Week 6. It took me a little longer than expected, but with the way I’ve been progressing that shouldn’t be such a surprise.
I took a few days off because my heel started bothering me after each time I ran. I’m no doctor, but from my very unscientific research I’d probably diagnose it as achilles tendonitis. I did some reading, bought a pair of Dr. Scholl’s inserts and started weight training again.
My plan now is to alternate workouts between weights and finishing up C25K. So far, so good.
I’m actually happy that my sore heels got me to pick up weights again. For me, weights are the quickest way to get my butt back in shape and I’m able to push myself harder than I can doing cardio.
That’s the latest plan of action. Of course, as always, I’ll be back with updates (even if they’re only about me being a slacker, but let’s hope not).
