They were doing pretty well sticking to the script until I showed up about two months ago. Or at least that's how I see it.This thread is epically devoid of mileage. I should start posting again.
Noob question do I have to be barefoot for it to count.

I think BF is the default. If you run shod, make a note of what kind of footwear you were using. You should ask Scedastic though, she seems to the leader among equals here.And now we've opened it up to general workouts, which is good, cuz I've been laid up for almost two weeks, nothing to do except walk (bf) and do weights. Will probably try a run this Friday and see how the knee's doing . . . I'm getting sick of icing it all day.
Hey a lot of people post here who run at least sometimes in sandals or minshoes, no big deal. And now with winter coming, there'll be more of it.Crap shhh but I don't run barefoot anymore... I feel for you injuries suck, good thing you like to lift weights.
Back in the game Dama! Awesome progress from your surgery.Monday 45 mins BF run
Tuesday 7 min run, 30 min hill repeats, 8 min run
Today I was going to do a recovery run due to the hill repeats from yesterday but I don't know what happened, I felt so good that I run almost 6 BF mi in 45 mins(5.8 mi)
I feel like a new runner with the runners high...

Awesome!!! Hill repeats are like steroids, but legal.
Patience is hard. I almost went for a short run yesterday, but I'm holding off till Friday. The pain is almost completely gone, but there's still a little something there. Will do the kids pick-up again today with stroller, 2.2 miles barefoot walking. If I don't feel anything in the knee after that, I'll give myself the green light for a one-mile run on Friday. I gave my rower to my dad, who's badly in need of something to supplement his daily walks, so I've made myself totally reliant on runs for my aerobic work, so I hope I can get back to it soon. Lately I've been noticing I'm much more sensitive to caffeine. I wonder if the absence of aerobic work is to blame . . .Thanks Lee, I am really surprise myself of how well I am making progress if I could just bring my long run to the 2.5/3:00 hr mark. But all in due time, no need to rush things.

Now here I sit with an icepack on the knee praying I didn't do any damage to the knee. The knee didn't look swollen or anything but I wanted to be proactive in case it does swell.
Hey, if you could have a look at the photos I posted in last week's mileage reporting, I'd appreciate hearing any further ideas you may have about what happened or what ligament or tendon got strained. I tried to draw a dark circle on the spot where it's most painful to the touch.Good to know that you're restraing yourself, you don't want to go back to square one.
Glad to hear yout knee is getting better.
Will do Dama. Man I was really feeling good to just prior to this happening. If I wasn't fighting with the stroller I am pretty sure I would have been able to get down to a 5 min pace... On my speed days I like to see how long I can push a pace, which since getting fat isn't very long. I am pretty sure I could have held that 6 m pace for close to a mile today, I was feeling that good. Oh well, I guess at least I didn't lose the stroller and end up with my son rolling out into the road in front of traffic. Man that scared me so bad. When sliding my hand started to come out of the leash thing that my hand was tethered to. I think my heart stopped for just a little bit despite being in the middle of a fast run.Keep an eye on that knee Nick and hopefully the icing will take care of things.

Okay, after a tutoring/problem solving session with my husband on Google Earth, I am happy to report that I ran 8.15 miles (he says count on GE being off + or - 5%) And that without my whole big toe nail on the left foot! ha ha ha
I am VERY happy with this mileage. Didn't know it was so far. PLUS it means I managed an average 9:35minute/mile even though I had to significantly slow down a 2-3 times for a length of gravel/chip seal and to take 3 burrs out of my feet. I might have to blog about it.
