I run in the spring, sumemr and fall. From the time the snow melts off until it's so cold I get frost bite in the time it takes me to run 5 miles(40-45 minutes). I've always had problems with my knees just because of my size(6 foot 8, 225-235 lbs). However, I enjoy running enough and the pain isn't enough to stop me.
During running season I go through a LOT of OTC anti-inflammatories. During the winter I used to just drop back to using a stationary bike which I always hate.
This winter I found the Precor machines at the local Y and they kick ass. I still have to do my weights at home b/c the Y doesn't have jack for free weights.
Sorry for the rambling first post, but I'm in a hurry but couldn't help responding :P
