I'm too old now to just run run run the knees and back just aren't up for it anymore. So, I jog, walk fast and run and it seems to work for me. As we age we tend to slow down and move less for all the reasons I just gave, but that causes, even more, problems so moving is where its' at.

Yeah, I run a lot less too. Walking is where it's at for me too. I walk with a neighbor in the afternoon and having a dog helps too as she needs walking. The knees yup, they do get sore.
