after my c25k workout yesterday, my right calf really hurt, so i decided to use one of those sticky heating pads and wear it to bed to see if that would help my muscle.

i woke up and my muscle wasnt sore anymore–> YAY

but, now i have an odd reaction/irritation/rash on my leg EXACTLY where the heating pad was. –>BOO

at least I can work out this afternoon! YAY! but I hope this weirdo reaction goes away soon.

also, m3at49 suggested that in order to help my endurance more on my next run, to lower the speed on my runs a bit. i think I’m greatly consideringt his, and might move down from 4.8 mph to 4.5/4.6 for now to see if that allows me to complete day 2 week 5 successfully! thanks for the suggestion! sometimes, I get caught up in the fact that I like my speed so much, that it’s hard for me to realize that at this point in my running journey, i cant sustain 5+ minute runs on that speed, so I think I’ll try that tomorrow for my next run workout. YAY

Happy Tuesday!
