He ran 45 minutes every other night
\nand felt the runner\u2019s highs
\nin all of the nightly runs.<\/p>\n
He liked the coolness of the night,
\nthe fewer cars on the roads he
\nran on.<\/p>\n
But then during one of his hundreds
\nof runs in his thirties, he heard a
\nsnapping in his right knee<\/p>\n
and he limped all the way home,
\nand saw a doctor the next day
\nwho said his knee would be okay<\/p>\n
after an arthroscopy a few days
\nlater, and he\u2019d be able to run again
\njust like he had for years.<\/p>\n
The operation done, the rest, and
\nthe rehab over, he started a new run
\nwith his healed knee.<\/p>\n
But after only a few minutes, pain
\nin his knee and his running
\nended forever<\/p>\n
with no guarantees another operation
\nwould fix the knee completely
\nand could make it worse.<\/p>\n
