Andrew - Sorry to hear about your situation. Clearly you love running on the trails, and so do I. There have been moments where I never felt more in tune and connected with the world than a good trail run. I cant imagine how sad you must feel Andrew.


I am 33, and injured my knee back in college (trying to push my car out of the snow). As I got more out shape in my 20s, the pain increased. It was so bad when I was 29, I was up at night with pain and saw a specialist. He said I needed to strengthen the muscles (I wasnt exercising), and to never **EVER** start running. So, at the age 30, I started trail running. I have never felt healtheir, and my knee problem is far gone. But, from XRays I know my knee is defective and like you I know the days are numbered. Also, I have the pleasure of being a friend with Rich Busa, and I can only hope that Im still on the trails when Im his age, but I'll never be half as charming as him.


When you are on the road (trail) to recovery, perhaps we can hook up for a run. Im not terribly fast, but I am in the top 30 of Grand Tree Stonehead points, and potentially one of the highest totals for a Clydesdale.


See you round - Mark
