I have really bad knees. I played baseball when I was a kid and up through high school, and with all jokes aside I was a catcher. Partly from that and partly from my genes, I have horrible knees now. I have a few things working against me. My muscled developed incorrectly and was pulling my knee cap slightly to the side which wore away some of the cartilage. Also I have spurs in both knees. The pain is not really bad on the day to day basis like it used to be. I went to physical therapy and retrained my muscles to work properly. I have more pain now from usage.
Ok so my point here is that I really want to run a marathon. Its probably a stupid goal, but I see completing a marathon as such a true test of physical fitness. Do you think there is any hope for me? Is there anything I can do to try to maximize my goals while minimizing the negative affects and pain?
