>>I figure I exercised enough up through my 40s. I used to run every other day and lift weights on alternate days. Now my knees hurt too much for the running, and since I'm not tussling with thugs in the street anymore, I don't really need the bulk and strength.

>I have the same problem with the knees. They just can't take the pounding they used to. They are OK after refereeing soccer -- grass, of course -- but I walk like an old man after running on asphalt. What I need to do is find a dirt trail around here somewhere. I have always enjoyed running once I am in the habit -- it's that miserable couple of weeks getting there that sucks!

Face it bud, we gettin old!<g> And planning on getting much older....
