Any runners?

Re: Any runners?

Is that when people go pretty much barefoot?

Dear God, what happened to proper shoes and skirts.

Skirts?!
"Proper" shoes get you hurt, especially on trails.

I refuse to talk to people who wear FiveFingers.

I guess this is where our online friendship ends, Siggie.

It's been fun.

If that's how you feel about it... I guess any friend who would rather see me injured than wearing VFFs wasn't really a friend to start.

I actually ran in them last night. It was tough, but I was on the street whereas I'd been training on treadmill previously so it was partly that too I think. My heart rate monitor also agreed that it was tough (hit a new max lol). Anyway, my knee felt fine and I feel great today except for a little bit of tightness in my calves which is to be expected with the shoe change. So, YAY Vibrams!

Re: Any runners?

It's right below my patella. I think it's actually patella tendinitis maybe which is odd because I haven't been doing any jumping really. I think I might have irritated it by sitting with my legs folded under me or cross-legged for long stretches; even at work. Either that or it's possible that this is an old basketball injury when I was doing a lot of jumping. I haven't played for like a decade though... didn't think tendonitis could continue that long. >>

Thankfully it was only continuously achy the first day or so. Now, it only hurts with one-legged squats or now and then while walking or climbing stairs. Hoping it's safe to resume training because I'm hooked already. I had been looking forward to my Monday run and skipped it last night. I've been itching for it today though and I think if I had a change of clothes I would have lost the battle and gone out at lunch. I think I have to get some kind of run in tonight because I'm almost completely out of patience already. I might keep it to just 10-15mins or something just to try out my new FiveFingers.

Any runners who want to impart wisdom? What the hell does runner's knee feel like and can I ignore that f*#ker?

It feels like you want to take a sledge hammer to your knee cap to stop the irritating pain.
