Tried it out again today.  My knee didn't really bother me.  I tried doing bare foot running, which was interesting.  It definitely helped me realize exactly how I run.  I did a .5 mile warm up, ran 1.5 miles, then walked another .5 miles. Hopefully I can at least keep up a routine like this moving forward.

Did barefoot again today.  I kept it really nice and slow.  Walked between 4.5 and 5 mph for the entire time.  My knee is still bothering me, but not hurting.  While I was out today I bought a new pair of running shoes and a foam roller.  I'm ready to get back into some running for reals!

Well, I think the new shoes and the foam roller made a HUGE difference!  Talk about pain!  Apparently I've been focusing on the wrong part of the IT band with my stretching, cuz holy crow, did it hurt farther down than I was expecting.  I did manage to actually do a little running and my knee feels great though!  Did .25 mile warm-up, ran 2.25 miles at 6.0 mph, then did a .6 mile cool down.  Total time was 32:49-only a few seconds different than yesterday.  Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come...
