Finally wore the running shoes this morning before a day shift, just did 11 minutes of walk-run around the block, nothing crazy.
By tonight my calves were so tight I could barely get down the porch steps to check on the garden.
Is that normal for someone who’s basically never run before, or did I push it too hard for a first try. I’ve got a friend’s wedding coming up where I’ll be on my feet for hours and really don’t want to show up limping.
How many rest days should I actually give it before trying again?
