Running Question
So I have been running since 2009 and the question I have is whether it is alright to run every day? I have heard some people say that it is alright and some say that it isn't. I guess I'm just confused if whether it really is alright or not. Any advice?

Do you get the kids moving?
My reason for losing weight is my family, two years ago I got some test results that scared me and I thought I wouldn't live to see my son grow up.
