“Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.” David Mamet

Not when your old age knees hurt.

I'm down to half marathons and 10k's. Too much knee pain and sore ligaments and not enough knee cartilage.

“Not when your old age knees hurt.”

I said treachery. Hide a trail bike.

Kidding. My life changed for sports when they said sit down and shut up if you want to live a few more years. So now my idea of a marathon is the trip to the bathroom at night. At about 50 feet round trip does that qualify as .02 of a marathon? Is there a trophy for that and film at 11?

I am shocked running didn’t keep your knees healthy. you’d think the body would repair itself and make them stronger.

David, being old, also speaks from experience. :)
