Went running today. Have been switching between my barefoot running shoes and my normal ones. The barefoot ones seem to force me to improve my form by magnifying any discomfort during the run.
Did a run with the normal shoes Monday and my knees were a little tight (not really sore) afterwards. Did the same run today in the barefoot shoes and I feel amazingly good. No pain or soreness at all. I keep waiting for it to kick in but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Very exciting.

I think one thing I realized is that if something hurts, stop doing it! Seems obvious but before I just figured I'd keep working at it and it would go away. Now I realize I was trying to keep a form thinking it was the right way to run when in fact it was exactly the wrong way. Hopefully this takes care of all the issue I was having. The correct form is one that works that doesn't cause pain and injury, not one that does because it's what I think I should be doing.

Knees tightened up a little last night but not bad at all. Good as new today. Pretty exciting.

2 and a half hours. Once I got halfway done I kicked it into high gear because there was no way I was gonna let the tractor show up and do the rest and steal my thunder after working that hard!!!
