PAIN!!!

So I took a week off. Not intentionally, but I went camping and came home to a broken water heater. While I was gone, I started to hurt. Not the sore, I need to workout hurt, but my feet have been aching. It feels like bone pain. So I have cause for alarm. I don't have the patience right now to really research what my problem is so I have been looking for ways to stave off the pain. I was on dailymile and "melanie" posted the "5 most common mistakes new runners make" and of course I'm sure that I fall in to more than one of these even though I've only been walking. I do try to keep the pace up so maybe that is my problem. One of the problems is stretching and that is for every runner. I, myself have not been stretching so it is something to which I should pay attention. There was a link for stretching that gave some good stretches for muscles that runners use. I have found that I am experiencing tight muscles in a lot of these areas. So much so that I had to stop my walk to stretch a bit. So I guess that will be my next issue on hand and tip of the day. As for things, I have to take it easy this weekend because I probably overextended myself trying to make up for lost time because of my trip and the water heater issues.
But, on a lighter note, I am only 107 miles away from completing my challenge. I think I should finish by the first week in December barring any other problems. And my weigh in was good. I am back down to where I should be so far with a loss of 5.5 pounds. At least according to Mr. Taylor.
