Yesterday was Day Three of the Couch to 5K plan. I'm still having trouble finding my stride in the jogging intervals. It feels awkward. And yesterday I had some minor problems with my ankle and hamstring. Not to mention the shin splints that come and go throughout the activity, but that I don't feel after I'm done or the next day.
Am I too out of shape for this? Or am I just trying to do too much, too soon? Or is it just a matter of stretching more before and after the workout? I wish I could figure it out.

it could be any number of things, really. running isn't for everyone and a lot depends on your technique and shoes, etc. at least that's what i understand. i tried jogging in high school and that didn't work out at all. i suppose i would run if someone was chasing me.
Back in the day (high school), I ran on the cross country and track teams, and while I wasn't the best distance runner, I did get a groove going. I loved the strength I got and felt from running, and in college it was the best stress release.
I dunno. Maybe my body's changed too much since then. It still beats weight lifting.
