Week 1

Monday:
Well, I successfully completed the chosen activities of the day - kind of... I rode my stationary bike for 30min. I may have had the intensity up too high to start and didn't finish the period with the level of RPM's that would be suggestive of a more aerobic workout, and my legs felt swollen lead balloons. However, I transitioned nicely into the jog, the shoes felt great off the bat, I felt light on my feet. But, about .8mi in my calves started to really tighten up. Now, I don't know if this is because 1) I'm starting at basically a zero intensity aerobic base and I rode the bike for 30min, fatiguing the muscles pre-hand, 2) my muscles weren't used to the new recoil from the more minimalist shoe, or 3) a combination of both? Regardless, I didn't put it to much chance and stopped to stretch, deciding to walk the rest of the way home... better safe than sorry.
