This is for the average person that has been running or someone starting to run and enjoying it. One focus is positively attempting the challenging goal of running a marathon. The base goal is to achieve fitness or wellness with minimal pain or injury thus continuing to participate. The central premise- Anybody with generally healthy limbs and body can go from couch to finish line of the 26.2 mile marathon in 24-36 weeks.

Whoa! My knee is killing me.

Made it about 200 yards after my warmup and the knee clicking and clacking was too much and I backed off and walked a little- can't do it today.
Got home and did floor exercises for gut, chest and back. Heavy focus on the core and iced the knee a little. Then went through a good stretching regimen(sweating- yoga like). Feel fine now and should be goods to go tomorrow- get a run in while daughter is in pool practicing for next weeks YMCA Nationals.
Also made sure I took my garlic, ginger and turmeric to help with inflamation and pain. Glucosamine seems to be helping- may not regenrate inside of knee but may help retard deterioration.

Lots of water and juice (and a little bit oficed coffee).
