I really wouldn't advise anyone with a bad knee injury to run without consulting a doc to see how much abuse the knee can really take. You can really fuck yourself up for later in life if you continually abuse joints that can't take it.

Yep, my right knee's been fucked for 10 years or so... my right ankle has had issues and then I shatter my left kneecap... And I'm carrying around an extra 80lbs or so... not really built for running...

That said, bachelors party last night in Daytona... musta walked 10 miles... the hardware in my leg is fucking killing me... I think I'm going to take them up on the offer to have it removed... The screw through my tibia is all fucked up...

I have 6 Screws in mine...And yeah...Running is out of the question for me at the current moment. Breaking your leg takes the desire out of it after your bone heals.

I'd much rather Bike...You can go further quicker and get just as good an exercise.

People run because they can generally drop weight this way. I do it because I like it and right now am forced to.

I was an idiot last week and registered for a full marathon in September. Guess I'll be running a bit more than usual.

My little sister runs marathons (42.195 kilometres or 26 miles and 385 yards for you silly Americans). Basicly if your not naturally skinny, with good knees, dont bother trying to run.

And running shoes. You need to spend top dollar on running shoes, and you NEED proper insoles. See a specialty runners shop, and they will fit you properly if you really want to run. Different kinds of feet require different kinds of shoes. And again, if you dont have good knees, dont bother.

Pffffft. Had an untrained guy on a radio show run a marathon and completed it.

I run. I'm actually starting training for a Marathon in September.

I run because I enjoy it. the days I run... I feel better, the days I don't.... I don't. I like the challenge of it. thinking "I did 10 last time... I think I can do 13" and pushing myself. it's taught me a lot about my body.

I don't get the runner's high all the time... but I feel almost zen a peace deep down when I'm running... even in the struggle to keep going... emotionally... I feel a peace.
