The Simplicity of Running

One thing I really love about running is its simplicity - it is something that most of us are able to do naturally - and it doesn't take any complicated equipment, for the most part.  Some of the shoes can appear to be quite complex - and no doubt some interesting engineering goes into the design and creation of some of the footwear out there today - but really that is all one needs.

In certain cases (as with me - due to the torn PCL and advanced OA in my left knee) specialty equipment is sometimes needed.  I must run with an off-loading brace to relieve the pressure on the inside part of my joint and to keep the entire joint stabilized and on-track.  But once you get used to having this extra "bit" around, the body adapts and moves forward - it really is amazing how adaptable the human body is.

Stay well ...
