Aye, don't think it's a great idea to push through pain in the joints. I did that often during my 1st year running and I count myself lucky that I didn't leave much permanent damage to my knees. Not sure if I told you this before, but the main reason why I switched to barefoot running was because of my 1st marathon. Was running very well up till the 35km mark then came this bad pain in my left knee that reduced me to a walk/jog till the finish. Hobbled for 6 weeks after the race. Not pretty.

I sound like a broken record, but barefoot running works. Try it. Have you managed to read "Born To Run" yet?

Woohoo! It'll be so fun. :-D More unsolicited advice: 0) Start with smooth concrete. 1) Walk for 500m, then run. Don't run too much in the beginning, maybe 1-2km? 2) Relax! Don't tense your muscles or focus too hard on how your feet is landing. Relax! Just let things happen. Relax! 3) If you feel a slight pain on your soles, that's normal, continue. Pain anywhere else isn't normal. 4) Don't go running with music. Barefoot running is a completely different experience and you'll need the focus.

RUN
good Princes Park 12.84 km
Felt good which is surprising given all the alcohol I consumed on the weekend :P
I did 4 chin-ups and 35 crunches on my way around the track. My upper body strength needs lots of work.

Wow, long run after not doing it for so long. My upper body strength needs a lot more work too. I can only manage one pull-up a week ago and have gotten it increased to two. To think that I managed 11 just last year! Amazing what laziness and a fat belly can do.

We'll get there! What work do you do for upper body? I'm not much of a gym guy so rely on pushups, crunches and chinups/pullups at the moment.

Pull-ups, for getting through the annual armed forces fitness test, holding my body in the plank position for the abs and push ups for vanity. ;-) I don't like gyms too, and just working with our body weight got us really far in the Army, so I know it works!

If your calf is hurting from 1km, it's telling you that it's being overused. I had this same problem when I focused too much on landing on the forefoot and not letting my heels touch. The calf strain went away when I allowed my heels to touch lightly instead.

You got it. I was focusing on my fore and mid too much! Thanks.
