Yay! W9D1 complete after taking nearly a week off because my stupid knee hurt
I'd like to thank my special friends, those guys in my ear that pushed me through to to the thirty minute mark: The Chemical Brothers.

Oh my gosh, I feel like this is me! I was supposed to start W9D1 yesterday but I started having slight shin splints the day before so I took an extra rest day.
Also, The Chemical Brothers are awesome! I just started getting into them after watching the movie, Hanna. Anyway, good luck with the last week!

<3 The Chemical Brothers.
Did you figure out what caused the knee pain?
Inexperience, I think. I'm new to all this, so I think I landed wrong while trying to go a little too fast midway through W8D3. Then shin-splints when I tried to run on it a couple days later attempting W9D1. So just a bad week overall.
But today was good, and I'm happy that I didn't fuck up so bad that I've lost progress. I tried 30 minutes, I made thirty minutes.
I'll take that :)
Absolutely =] Just finished W2D3 myself... looking forward to W9, I miss running 15k/wk.
I struggle with heel striking myself, still re-programming myself after years of military march where emphasis is made on heel striking, kind of carried over into the way I run too.
