The beginning of stage 6

Yesterday I completed the next jogging stage:

Stretch and warm up walk 5 mins
Jog/walk: (8 mins jog + 1 min walk) x 3
Stretch and cool down walk 8 mins

And yes, I managed to complete it with no problems. I could hardly believe it! The way my legs just managed to keep going in a way they wouldn't have done just two months ago.

I nearly got stitch after the second jog but managed to keep it at bay. However during the afternoon my legs started to ache/twinge a little, and they still feel the same today, so I think that now I'm getting on to more continous jogging I must make sure to stretch properly at each end, and maybe only go every alternate day and not two days in a row. Will see how it goes.

Must get myself some proper running shoes as well. It seems difficult to find the time. There is a shop very close to work - but either I'm going for a jog at lunch, or else I have my work clothes and shoes on if I'm not, and don't want to be running on a treadmill or whatever they do to analyse your feet in office clothes. I'm not sure what the best way forward is.
