Good morning! 80˚ partly cloudy, 95% humidity. The grass has turned green and could use a mowing but my knee says to hold off. That is really hard with a "new to me" Z mower ready to tackle the yard.

Don, Hope your knee gets better fast. How's your other knee? Did the doc say anything about wear and tear on your joints from running? My cousin who ran marathons in his 30's and 40's is having so many medical problems now from wear and tear.
Other knee is fine. I had a meniscuses tear years ago from something. this is the second clean out. I'm sure running did not help it, but as the Dr. said anytime your foot leaves the ground and returns it is an impact. I have lots of relatives with worse or replaced knees that have never run. I don't think Bird was a runner but then I could be wrong. I am one of the younger ones in the running group and some in the 70s have no knee problems and run a lot more than I. It is really an individual thing. I am starting non-impact cardio with a cardio-strider.
