Here's a list of injuries I had better be proactive about making sure they don't bite me in the ass: bilateral Ilio-tibial Band Friction syndrome, R Lateral Collateral Knee ligament sprain, L Rotator Cuff strain, R adductor strain (this one was brought on by a leg cramp that lasted 20 minutes while swimming in open water...not nice), chip fracture of R Great toe, cracked lower L rib, and some kind of R knee internal derangement.
I took the day/night off "training" yesterday and took the family down to the Chinese Lantern Festival (http://www.chineselanternfestival.ca/e/home.html) at Ontario Place...was very nice actually.

Hi Bill,
I have a couple of other suggestions to consider for your "proactive injury list" - or "prehab" if you prefer:
1) strengthen your core...having a good set of abs/multifidus/pelvic floor muscles will go a long way to prevent injury;
2) this one is personal for me as I think it contributed to my own knee injury...make sure your adductors are flexible enough and your abductors are strong enough to stabilize minimize lateral/medial stress on your knee
...after all, you are getting old! :-)
Mike
...agree...already started on those two areas...been squatting for a few weeks now and I feel I'm ready to incorporate a split systen whereby I can focus on the legs 2/4 days...core will be pretty much 4x/week...
