First three runs post surgery

I tried out my first barefoot run post surgery on Monday this past week. 2.3 miles at a 12 min/mile pace. Slow but it felt great! No issues at all. I ran barefoot again on Wednesday and then again today. Today I upped it to 3.1 miles. I'm feeling the normal soreness but nothing unusual. My left foot will end up being the limiting factor now in my runs since it hasn't been repaired yet especially once I start going beyond 3.5 miles or so. All in all, I am very pleased!

I'm so glad your surgery went well! Do you have a timeline for when the second foot will be repaired?
 
No timeline yet. Doc told me he wants the right foot to be completely healed and healthy before he does the left foot.



My last run was on Friday and it was awesome! I'm so excited. I still have a long ways to go, but I ran a 10:48/mi pace for my 5k run. It's still relatively slow, but it felt so good! I have not been taking any medications either to make sure there is less of a chance I might overdo things at this stage.
