    Boobs, and embarrassment. I don't want anyone to see me get tired and stop.

    I jog a little but I'm mainly trying to work up enough stamina to do it longer.

    Bad knees from years of running in boots in The Marines.

    Because it's boring and it hurts. I'd much rather kickbox, cycle, step, or do other various cardio exercises.

    I wanted to jog/run...I really did. I even started the C25K and was really loving it...problem is that I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. Two weeks on the program, and I ended up in bed for a week unable to move.

    Now I water jog...endurance and cardio without the jarring impact to my sensitive body. It was a total win for me.

    I don't run or jog because my very brisk walking partner is my husband who has back issues and can't, really messes up his back and causes alot of pain. I will do intervals of walking and run/jog when he's out of town and I exercise alone.
    So if I started running or jogging regularly I'd lose my exercise partner and our time together doing that.

    I always get a stitch in my side before I even get tired. I'm sure it's my breathing, or being out of shape, or both. But even in high school when I was 105 pounds soaking wet, I still got a stitch after running for a few yards. Really irritating, because I would love to be a runner. I crave peace for those few minutes away from crazy mommy obligations in the evening.

    Exhale on the opposite foot that the stitch is on (i.e., if your stitch is in your left side, exhale when you step on your right foot). Miracle worker.
