Bro I used to think I couldn't run/hated running as well...I had two knee recos and a fractured spine from playing rugby plus a list of dislocations, sprains and breaks you couldn't jump over...anyway I had ballooned out quite a bit and then last year I just got up and said f*%k it lets go....when i started I couldn't run for more than a minute at a time so I went one minute run one minute walk until I had done the 4k's....now I can run for a hour non-stop at a fair clip and I'm almost back down to playing weight...granted I'm no light-weight but I'm hope to knock of a half-marathon later this year....

I love running, but have had 4 bilateral meniscectomies in the last 9 years. Knees were in great she before, but had them hyperextended in a couple of accidents. Common sense tells me not to run, but I will try any advice to guide me.
By the way sense is far from common, and I never blindly follow sage advice. I make my own mind up.

What I have learned is that walking flat footed aggravates the knees. Weight bearing on the forefoot doesn't. I would like to extend this to running but haven't been game yet.
Very interested in barefoot philosophy. I don't think it is a good idea to go romping through the bush with unshod feet, but have experimented with Five Fingers and flat soled shoes. No difficulties so far.
Interestingly, I have had Duyptrons contractures on my feet since my mid twenties, but a change in gait has seen a 99% reduction in pain. I no longer use orthotics, and rarely use anti inflammatorys, and have not had a cortisone injection for years.

I guess the summary of all that is that I don't give up, (I am also inflexible ) and that there is always a way. i.e. after several years of not being able to spring to my feet, I did so at the weekend. Perseverance say's the old bull

Nice shots Ted yes its hot up here today,I booked today off as a little reward but fmd there's no waves.

Oh well ffif I will allow myself a couple of beers tonight,gee I've been a good boy

Enjoy yr day off Prez - you do deserve it - its been a long hard slog for you. Make sure you go for a paddle with LL before you have the beers.....I think he may have a spare board or 5!!! If he needs to shorten a stick for you there is some good advice on the next floor down

Thanks Ted but I'll can the day off and keep it for a better wave day I'll go in for half a day,LL yep he is the board bitch

Few nice shots there Ted...2ft and off shore down here but I passed as its crowded and the little bloke is pretty crook...

Ted you can get locked up for hiding in the scrub taking shots of girls at the beach.

That was Swimmer Cam Scotty - no hiding for me.

Hope the young fellas gets better Tux - can not believe its crowded down your way - Simondo always reckons its not
