Bad doc visit

 I used to run back before sugery, while I was pretty over-weight. I did OK for a year or so then  blew out my left knee to the point where the Doc suggested I should do ANYTHING BUT run again. It may have been different if I wasn't on my own, without any professional instruction in how to run correctly. 

I am able to do some light jogging on the treadmill and love prolonged walks outdoors. It takes longer but feels almost as good as running.

Thanks Hillery!  They are actually running the C25K program that I planned on joining at the end of this month.  My PCP said she thought I was okay to run, but to stay within my mobility level and to make sure I get good shoes.

So, I will invest in some good shoes and work at a slow level!  Thanks everyone!
