Good article!  I was at a symposium back in the 80’s where Dr. Kenneth Cooper (the father of aerobics) was speaking and he made a comment during a Q&A session “…if you’re running more than 3 miles a day, you’re doing it for something other than health benefits…”.  That has always stuck with me – although, I do I like a nice long run every now and then for mental health 😉

If my knee surgeon has anything to do with it even short runs will not be in my future. The damage was too extensive for complete repair and bionic knees are in my future but he is strongly against any impact sports and particularly running. Will take a little time to come to grips with this new reality.

Liked the article, Stewart, sorry to hear those Doctors orders. I hope you’ll find some alternates to keep moving. Ron

Thanks, Irwin,
I've seen several articles which point in the same direction --- let's keep it up!
Sorry for the news on the knee, Stewart -- I think I would have a go on one of these:

I haven’t made it out for a run with you all in literally years since the kiddos are too old to push around but not old enough to stay home alone! (But my 8 yo is running some 5ks with me so maybe I’m close to being back!) 

BUT thanks for sharing - I needed this article today as I was beating myself up for the lack of long runs lately. :)

Bummer. Guess a knee replacement doesn’t get you running either. There’s still golf, hiking, biking, swimming, bowling and shuffleboard. (well, skip shuffleboard) and skiing if you stay off the moguls.
