    For years since over-running my knees on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th of October, 2007 I’ve battled a maddening array of knee, leg, hip, and foot problems.

This is further than I should be running, but I was dieing for it and justified it by considering slow speed, trail, up-hill, low-impact. I will hold off…
