Johnny, great to have you join us!

When I first started, I had a ton of knee pain myself. If you were like me and mostly non-active, it takes a while for the body to get used to the wear and tear. It looks like you've been doing great so far just by starting. I would highly encourage you to try out a couch to 5k program even though it looks like you started off with 3 mile runs anyways. You don't have to start on day 1 necessarily, but those programs help you get started and gradually ramp you up in intensity in an effort to try to not kill you at the start.

Almost all of us started where you are, so feel free to join in the conversations and let us root you on in your progress too!
