Hey guys, I don't normally post here, but I would like to share my success. With my half marathon this morning I had my first 40 plus mile week (roughly 43). About half of those miles were in sandals because of rough conditions, but I am really happy about the total. At this point, I think I have good control of my knee pain and had my fastest half in 2 years (1:41), not barefoot unfortunately, but I was nice to do a race without worrying about every pebble and dealing with the nasty Utah chip seal. I think if I can maintain this mileage, I might be able to have a successful marathon in January. I am even considering a Garmin purchase and a training plan. I credit barefoot running and the BRS forum for my success. Thanks.
