I can run again!

Hey, maybe it just doesn't take much to thrill an old guy, but it a was real, pleasing surprise to discover at the rec center today that I can run again. For about 15 years, thanks to the bone-on-bone rubbing and arthritis in my right knee, the best I could do was kind of lumber for a hundred yards.

Today, walking with Sandy on the indoor walking track, I decided to lean forward and walk faster. It actually felt good! The kneecap didn't move back and forth as much. So, I decided to push it and see if I could run ... and I could! Didn't go far, not going out jogging tomorrow, but the short distance I did run gave me lots of confidence that I can, and will, run again. tv
