That was intended as an encouragement. My knees are shot as well, but like my parents before me I refuse to just give up and lie down without a fight.
I have issues with my feet and ankles that might be worked around by trial and error. The problem is that the errors in the past have laid me up for so long, I have no interest whatsoever in taking the risk again.
It's the 21st century, there's a lot of alternatives to running that will keep you at least as fit. Running isn't somehow superior because it includes suffering.
As you wish.
