OK, how many people on here would rather be a runner than a swimmer, but due to injuries or something else have been forced to turn to a sport that has less impact on the body?
I swim as cross training for running. I found that every day running did not work for me(although I would love to if I could) but 3 times per week does even with high mileage.
I do love swimming and the feeling after a good workout, however, for me, it cannot compare to the feeling of running. It is so much more relaxing and provides better "thinking time than swimming".

No, actually from years and years of basketball. Running has actually helped my knees because I've been forced to address some issues in order to keep running. With basketball you can get through a game with straps, ice, etc, but you can't do that through a 2 hour run.
