losing motivation

jmgabbard

Ok guys, I'm really struggling this week. I am using C25K and am on week 5 but have been taking it at my own pace, repeating most weeks until I'm comfortable enough to move on. I have a severe back problem so I'm not rushing through the weeks so that I can prevent injury. This wk I am experiencing terrible leg pain in my lower calves down to my ankle area on both legs! It even hurts to walk at times. It has kept me from running for 2 days now. I believe it's probably my running shoes so I am going to take care of that asap. But it has totally messed w/ my head. I feel so emotional about it. I don't want to fail!!! I signed up for a 5K in less than a month w/ my husband. This is a terrible time for a set back like this. HELP! I NEED MOTIVATION & ADVICE!

try new shoes and see how you feel, but remember to be safe :flowerforyou:
