This is my longest barefoot training, yet.<\/p>\n
I returned to my old “stomping” grounds tonight — Sangria on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. I used to run with the Club Run Hermosa Beach group years back, partly because I was part of Nike’s Club Run LA grassroots running club. Employed by a third-party which Nike hired, a good number of us got free shoes, and running clothing as our “uniform” at each of these weekly events. That was back when Nike first had their Run Hit Wonder race series. Wow. Can’t believe that was 7 years ago (February 16, 2003 — lol I still have the medal) Anyway, I digress…<\/p>\n
This run was fine except for the following:<\/p>\n
So yeah, other than the three above, everything else was OK! I’m really excited as I build my barefoot running mileage, but I’m worried again that my knee isn’t healing. I mean, I thought I was fine: when I touch my left knee (the patella region), it doesn’t feel sore any more. Before, just putting my finger just under the patella would trigger my pain receptor. After this run, when I put my finger over my patella, and rub it, it still feels ok. Meh. Luckily, I’m going for a swim tomorrow, so I have at least a day to rest my knees. Maybe I should do some water jogging, as well… Hmmm.<\/p>\n
Stats: This is my longest barefoot training, yet.
