As with any injury it's good to listen to your body and rest until you don't feel the injury. Knees can also respond to moist weather-conditions, increasing the water-level in the knee. In response to your first question, I recently joined a running-club where I get training in running-form and different types of running/racing; through it, I also ended up in a few races already. I also bought a book on running and all it includes, though there really is no substitute for a real life teacher. Just do a search on Amazon and pick the one where the comment's are most postitive/informative. Also, it's important to get the right shoes for running and not run on them for longer than two years. Check out your local running-store for them (by that I don't mean a general sportstore). As for two, I'm not from Manhattan, but a Google-search has never failed me. Hope that helps.

I have done a 9:30 minute mile. My knees/feet hurt (I do change my sneakers) and they especially hurt if I run outside. My questions are: 1. Is there a “right way” to run? How can I avoid injuring myself? My feet? I 2. I want to run a 5K this spring. Any idea where I can find events in Manhattan? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Keri Hello,

I needed that. I never imagined myself as a "runner" until I decided to take my child to the walking path at the lake. It's a straight 1 mile with access at only the two ends, therefore you go down a mile and have to come back a mile. She and I would go off on our own pace and somehow get thru it. Soon I found that if I counted my steps and ran some predetermined number and alternated with walking the same number of steps, I'd eventually get back to the car. Pretty soon I would run 1/4mile (marked) and walk the next 1/4mile for the 2 miles. Eventually I could run 2 straight miles. Then I hurt my back. That was over a year ago with the all clear from the doctor for 3 months now. I needed to hear this today. Couldn't remember what I taught myself last time. Thanks. Thanks. I needed that.
