    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.

    Yup, that 'bout sums it up -- along with 3 ruptured disc, a pinched nerve and DD's that don't behave.

    Wearing 3 bras to hold the girls still is uncomfortable, and when I jog, my thighs rub and it looks like my lady parts are eating my shorts. Omnomnomnom

    ^ ^^.hahaha aha That's what i look like too! If they synchronize it for the Olympics call me for the team!

    Too much boob bouncing - even with a sports bra on. Jogging and jumping jacks are painful.

    1. My boobs would knock me out.
    2. My boobs would slow me down.
    3. I hate my boobs.
    4. I get horrible side aches and NOTHING seems to work. Trust me, I've tried everything. (ETA: Surely I can blame this on my boobs somehow.....)
    5. I'd rather eat my own limbs than run.

    The end.

    OMG, my right foooot D-: I have THE most painful bunion that I need to have fixed surgically, however I'm holding out hope that my pain will stop once I lose more weight...but getting there is slooowww. Since my bunion hurts so dramatically I have been walking/standing on the outside of my foot and now that and my ankle hurts too. There is NO WAY I could run on it. It takes all I have to make it through work, standing on it for 9 hours! Love my recumbent bike because it doesn't hurt my feet (or knees), but I have to use it forever to feel like I am DOING something. :-/

    I do sometimes. But it's boring and I'm not very good at it.

    I actually run 6/7 nights a week, but running, for a great percentage of people actually PROMOTES weight gain. You'd be better off just doing some cardio and strength training.

    I've heard that jogging and running improperly while overweight can put stress on the knees. I walk to keep my joints safe.

    My knees. I do good just to walk at a fast pace. Thought about jogging and possibly running, but dont think so. Not as young as I use to be. I'll stick with walking a brisk pace. Thanks :wink:

    No one has been chasing me. That's the only reason I'd run.

    I don't jog or run because I usually trip and fall down. I am a klutz.

    Also, I value my knee and ankle joints.

    I live in Maine, and it's spring time. We have momma bears right now that are less than impressed with fast movement near the cubs... whether you know they're there or not.

    Now THAT's a good reason!

    I screwed up my right knee and both ankles playing softball. I also have back and hip issues due to a serious fall.

    I get my cardio in by walking and going to spin class.
