56' barefoot
Runs in 2010: 14 (in 10 days -- puttin' a hurtin' on the 365 goal)

Did the barefoot expirment. It went very well. I felt much more confident in my knee barefoot that with shoes (especially on the treadmill). No pain at all (very unusual for a run) Th and Fr. I had one twinge on each of the Sa and Su runs. It seemed to happen when I started to drift on the belt and recentered myself.

Felt really good this week. It seems as if I've adjusted after 3 weeks of 50+. I'm still not better, but am headed that way.
