    I don't enjoy it, and to keep going exercise needs to be something you enjoy.

    Also as a F cup, I'd end up giving myself black eyes!

    Plenty of other ways to exercise without the need for jogging (or running) for me.

    Simply because jogging is not my favorite form of exercise... I prefer Zumba or the elliptical glider...

    Because... ehrm... How to describe me when I run...

    A fish with an epilepsy attack is the most accurate.

    Bi-lateral plantar fasciitis and achilles bursitis. First thing in the morning standing up is an achievement .

    In the last three weeks though I've forced myself to walk at least a mile a day and whilst I do it filled with anti-inflammatories and pain killers with ice packs on standby for my return I've managed to stick with it.

    Also, this thread reminds me of another reason not to run. People who run become like Jehovah's Witnesses: blathering on and on about how their religion is the One True Religion and if you have reservations, it's because you're ungodly. I would not want to become one of these people.

    ^ Whhhhuuuuttt? :laugh: :embarassed:

    Saying that you'll hurt your knees by running is just an excuse not to run.

    I started running after I found out that I have arthritis in my knees. Running strengthens your ligaments which then helps stabilize your joints, resulting in stronger knees. If you find that your joints are bothering you after a run, check your footwear!
    :heart: Thank you!

    There are plenty of 50 and overs in my running group who have been running since they were kids and none of them have knee problems (or any other issues).

    I'm sorry but.....I'm 49.....after 4 knee surgeries....you're both wrong. I really hate those blanket statements people like to make. It's really insulting.

    I gave MY experience with running with bad knees. Not really sure how that's insulting anyone. You can tell me I'm wrong if I was suggesting you go run a half marathon after 4 knee surgeries because "it'll be just fine." My guess is that running after knee surgeries probably isn't the best thing for you. That being said, joints get STRONGER with EXERCISE. If you aren't exercising, your joints get weak and become more susceptible to wear-and-tear injuries. If you truly found what I said before to be insulting, then I apologize because that was not my intention.
