Personal:

I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.

Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.

I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

First run on new shoes. My old shoes (Brooks Adrenaline 11) only had 345 miles. However, the right side of my right shoe was wearing away quite quickly. I mostly forefoot run, and I think the pain in my right foot was from the wearing of the shoes.

My left knee (under the top of the kneecap) has been hurting because I've been running a little different to compensate for my right foot hurting. Also, I've been running on the side of roads with a chamfer/slope to the outside of the road.

The run went well, with not too much foot pain, 7:37/mile. After the run, the pain became quite bad. I'll take a few days off and see how it goes.
