I have just completed my first week of training. I ache. I'm tired. I have constant headaches from the intense and constant upper back, shoulder, and neck muscle constriction. I don't sleep well because of the strange mixture of pain and constant adrenaline. I'm wondering when it's going to stop because I can't take it much longer. The running itself doesn't bother me much. The cross-training and the strength training don't affect me negatively either. Every part of my life is significantly healthier now more than ever, so why do I feel so bad? I desperately don't want to quit, but I'm not sure this kind of reaction is normal.
Yesterday I advanced up to four miles at a stretch. Thank God tomorrow I go back down to three. Never thought I would say that.

Well, you *could* slow down your training. It's a lot to go from zero to 13 miles in such a short time...or just rely on Advil and occasional treats to a spa massage and see if that helps!
