Running is bad for the knees.

My comeback run tomorrow night, the dk10K.I'm aiming for 50 minutes to be honest after this lay off.Last years PB for 10K was 43:34
Just a quick one; Does anyone know if the Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon has been changed from sunday 4th July, to Saturday 3rd. I originally had it in my diary for the 4th, and I'm sure the website previously said the 4th. I found out today its actually on the 3rd.I know its probably just my mistake, but it couldn't have been moved since I registered could it?
Just started running - following an online programme to build up stamina. Basically my only aim is to be able to run comfortably for 40mins or so 3x a week to keep healthy. Any tips for a beginner - how to keep motivated, how long it takes for stamina to build up, etc?

I've only been runnning 6 months, done a couple of 10k races, a 10miler and a half marathon, and had 2 injuries so far (achilles tendon problem, and now hamstrings). Still, as far as I'm concerned, the benfits far outweigh the problems, and I feel 100% better now in general than before I did any running.
Did a tough 10k course in 46.23 last night with no training after injury so pretty pleased.
