Time to hit the gym. Seriously. When I took up running, 13 years ago, my knees were much *worse* than they are now. Fortunately, after nearly trashing my knees during my first summer of running, I got good training advice and started weight training - with emphasis on quadriceps (upper thigh) and adductors (inner thigh). These control the position and tracking of the kneecap and the alignment of the knee. I now typically run 45-50 miles a week and my knees feel better than they did when I first took up the sport. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
