Hey all,
I've been running off and on since 1984 when on the cross-country team in High School. I hated every minute of it but it was really about training for soccer. If there was nobody chasing me then I never saw the need to run. After two back-to-back knee surgeries on the same knee in 97, then an MA and birth of our first child my wife and I started training for a marathon. It was the first time I started to enjoy running while pushing a jogger with my son. When I made it to training to the 15 mile mark at about a 10 min mile I had severe pain in my surgery knee then stopped running entirely. In the past few years I've been experimenting with "barefoot" running in my Luna sandals. I find that even though I'm up to being able to run a slow 6 miles I'm still thinking about form and landing properly.
I don't think I'll every go completely barefoot because of where I live but enjoy minimalist running. Right now I don't have any big goals for running just want to get to and maintain a 10k at a 10 min mile.
Thanks in advance to all of you who post here and provide feedback and help!
