Today "felt" uglier than D1- however, when my 2 mile counter dinged- it said my pace was BETTER than D1....hmmmm......anyway- we are having "free ice cream" from East Coast Custard today at work, so I stayed a little longer and walked to make the whole thing 3 miles. (can't pass up free East Coast Custard!! the stuff is delish and EXPENSIVE!) My legs are still hurting....hoping my bonus at work comes soon so I can get new shoes!!

    I wouldn't be able to give up custard either! :) Yeah I really think getting good shoes is what is saving my legs and ankles during this whole journey. I love them!!

    Great job on day 2 though! You're doing AWESOME!

    Well done!

    You'll find that a new pair of shoes will change your whole perspective! It will feel like a whole new run!

    Great job on your extra mileage. I did W4D1 today and it was great!

    I've never had East Coast Custard, but I'll take your word for it.

    Do you ice your ankle? That may help a little. I agree with you on taking it easy....you can always run another day but if you run on an injury, it may take way longer to heal.

    I dont know why its kicked off today, I ran on Wednesday and its been fine, I done a Pilates taster class yesterday, and thats all I can put it down to? Its very weak, does strengthen after time.

    Thanks, think I'll try some ice shortly, weve been out most of today and I've had it strapped up to be on the safe side :-)

    Hoping to fit the run in over the weekend, see how it goes, otherwise it will have to wait until next week.
