re: Older Runners (50+) - when did you pack it in

I understand. I am 55 and love running. I've been running long distance since 11 years old, and track before that. Don't want to give it up, but I've had a succession of injuries over the last 15 years that knock me out for 3-6 months at a time. To get back to running, I have to commit to a lot of physical therapy and strength building of different muscles. Then I get a glorious 3 months or so of great running before I get injured again. I swim, cycle and walk when I can't run; but its not the same.
