If you don't know by now, I didn't buy my new shoes and I RAN in my crappy old shoes after living a sedentary lifestyle for the last 2 years. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND DO NOT DO WHAT I DID!!!!! My knees are paying the price and I have not been able to do ANYTHING all week except eat lots of ibuprofen and sit on the couch surrounded by bags of frozen peas!
Believe me, it's an awful feeling, having done this to myself by NOT LISTENING TO MARK, and not being able to follow the program after having enjoyed it so much for the past few weeks. Tomorrow I am going to try to slowly do some stretching and maybe do some of the exercises that Robin suggested on my "no impact exercise" post on the message board. I will be not be doing the 1.5 miles with you all on Saturday; I will most likely be in the pool at the Healthplex. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, if you are a beginner like me and have not purchased shoes, WALK ONLY (NO RUNNING) AFTER YOU GO TO FLEET FEET!

Christa, I'm so sorry. I hope you get better soon, take it slowly. I'm resisting the urge to run, and trying to follow the advice of people who have done it before.
