Nothing like spending time in a hospital to convince you to really take care of yourself. For my 50th birthday last year did my first Olympic triathlon, and I am running a first ever half marathon in Dec. on my 51st birthday. Am starting to get a little iffy in my left knee.Was doing ok til I set a PR in a 5K last weekend. Have been doing knee strengthening exercises, ice baths after long/hard runs, take glucosamine, keep in good shoes, etc. Any other helpful tips to stay sound ? If I like the half I may want to attempt a full marathon next spring, but I guess it depends on staying free of injury and relatively pain free.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:85e80275-792d-42be-beee-5d64239a7776] --> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 02:19:42 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/1274490?tstart=0#1274490 2012-10-18T02:19:42Z 8 months, 5 days ago 0
