Jinx

So there's one thing about this past race that I've been hesitant to mention for fear of jinxing it.

I secretly worried about how my knee was going to hold up. Several years ago I was diagnosed with patella femoral syndrome - Runner's Knee. This is when I chose to ditch running shoes and transitioned to Vibram Five Fingers. That transition took over a year, but I believe it has been worth it.

I was concerned during the race because I was starting to feel a hot spot on the ball of my right foot. Three days after the race my muscle healing is just about complete and best yet - my knee feels great!
