Running will definitely be kinder on your knees closer to 80kg!
I've always wanted to do a marathon, for the bucketlist, rather than hoping I'll be good at them, but my less than perfect knees and feet would crumble in the training running up to one.

I had massive knee problems after tearing my ACL playing rugby when I was a teenager. I had a PT friend who really helped me work on my mobility, particularly the hips actually, and they've been great ever since! Might be worth trying a good PT who's focussed on sports and mechanics mores than glamour muscles if you did want to give it a good shot!
I also found the proper shoes made a huge difference for me, I'd been running in the wrong ones for years until I did the whole gait analysis bit and bought the shoes recommended by the running shop and they were a game changer!
I'm definitely looking forward to hauling 15kg less around with me though... When I was proper fit a few years ago I once did 30 pull-ups with a 20kg weight on a weight belt and I struggled to do 10 this morning on an assisted pull-up machine set for 57.5kg... dark times!

Oh I'll join in...
Just started back at the gym this morning, 10 free PT sessions to take advantage of so hopefully progress will be good.
Also have signed up for Paris Marathon on first weekend of April, I don't particularly enjoy running and I've never done one before but Mrs. Nahguavkire is a keen runner and talked me into it.
Current weight: 94.7kg
