I bought some cool new runners today so I'm feeling pumped and motivated to get some muscles back in my legs! Anyone wanna talk running?

Yes. The endurance sports are the only real challenge out there.
Speaking of your bad knees, theres been quite a bit of talk around the subject of running barefoot after the press the
Tarahumara have been getting the last 5 years or so. If running barefoot made me as immortal as those folks, I'd give it a shot.
The furthest I've run is a half marathon back in '01 in one of the crazier courses in the NorthEast (New Bedford Half) and while I spent the few days after rotting away in bed, I loved every minute of that race.
I moved pretty hard into triathlons after that (nothing big, sprit-distance) but running is the anchor discipline and you can't really get away from that. Whats the farthest race you've done? Got a favorite?
