I had to give up marathon running a bit earlier than you did. Of the guys I used to run with, every one has been injured. When the orthopedics doctor told me what kind of surgery was necessary to fix my ankles I told him "That's a cure for somebody who can't walk, not for somebody who can't run." I'm thinking all that pavement pounding isn't good for you.
Bicycling is better so long as you avoid getting hit by cars.
