I picked up running later in life, was up to about 50 miles a week for about 15 years and then hurt myself... by running incorrectly. The super-cushiony running shoes allow us to heel strike and get away with it, for a while. I think you're on the right path. The Vibrams and minimalist shoes enforce good running technique.

At Fort Wayne Senior College, and while at St. Louis, I ran every day.<br />My knees took a beating, but I kept on running.<br /><br />Now, at soon to be 66, my dog takes me on extended walks at 6:00 AM and several more tines during the day. This 7 year old angel of mine (who saved my life last year when he found me at the bottom of the cellar steps) still insists that I run with him whenever I am up to it. If running is out of the question, he still keeps up a brisk pace for me to follow. Without him, I would be a dedicated couch potato.<br /><br />I thank God every day for having insisted that this Bear of mine keeps seeing to it that I get the exercise that I need in my "senior years." <br /><br />"God works in mysterious ways." So why can't a dog be a good disguise for a Guardian Angel?Dcn.

Spent most of the summer of 2008 off my feet after making THAT mistake!<br /><br />It stinks, because I actually would like to walk or run for exercise. <br /><br />But I like biking even better, and that I can do without pain. I would swim, too, for hours, if I could get the pool time.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-90296807848856165542010-03-24T17:26:36.852-05:002010-03-24T17:26:36.852-05:00So, did you hear the one about the teacher who was...So, did you hear the one about the teacher who was running in Alaska & got eaten by wolves? Or the guy who was jogging in New Jersey on the beach & got squashed under a plane making an emergency landing? <br /><br />Nope, running is far too dangerous for my tastes... :)Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501327753737422337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-53496241457204776142010-03-24T17:14:56.268-05:002010-03-24T17:14:56.268-05:00Grasshopper - read the book!
