Barry,
Other than the disc problem that ended it, I was pretty lucky with injuries from running when I was only running and then when I was training for triathlons. I had few problems other then the typical aches and pains from overdoing it now and then.
What I always found amazing was how much I could bounce back. I recall once in my late 30's when I did not do much of anything for 6 months. A friend than challenged me in a 1/2 marathon. In less than 6 weeks I went from struggling to run 6:00 min pace for 5K to coming close to breaking 1:20 for a half marathon.
I bet if you set your mind to it and focussed on it for a few months you could get close to or under 16.
