Donna, I had trouble with my knees when running a while ago and found that building up the muscles around the knees helped considerably. The soup can idea is a good one that will work your quadriceps, the large four-part extensor muscle at the front of the thigh, and thus reduce stress on the knee. I would recommend building up to something more than just soup cans... or maybe soup cans filled with cement. Actually, IMHO, building muscle around all of your joints is a good idea. The less stress you put on joints, the better.
