I even had exploratory surgery! The solution and the reason why I am able to run now has been squats and lunges. Building up the muscles that surround the fragile joint has made all the difference.

I just need the determination to be consistant. Maybe lower impact will help build strength for higher impact activity later on... like running.

I suggest seeing a sports medicine doctor, 'cause regular doctors tend to be biased against running in general, I'm told. There are many things they could suggest to you to help with knee issues, I know lots of people who have braces or other gadgets that help a lot. Or maybe they can show you stretches, etc. to do before or after the Minervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803450940250232122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20508519.post-71676975752387534512009-07-03T08:32:50.727-06:002009-07-03T08:32:50.727-06:00My knees are one excuse why I don't run (besid...My knees are one excuse why I don't run (besides the fact that I hate it!).

That would give you peace of mind with a decision to keep running or not. Tough, I know, and I know you're likely not a fan of doctors, but... yeah.
