    Because I run trails.

    I started running (slowly) at 245 lbs. 3 years later I've lost 90 lbs (up a few due to an injury that happened during my spring marathon). For some of you with shin/knee/leg/back pain the simple solution may be a proper shoe fitting! That can be easily done at a specially running store.

    I don't think I have one of those stores in the area. Must be something the fancy city folks have. Even if we did, I probably wouldn't be able to afford it. I start a new job next week at a warehouse where I'll be on my feet for 10 hours a day. Hopefully my shoes are good enough now. >.<

    I pee when I jog. Thanks kids.

    This. And all the ladies who have had kids out there (vaginally, I should add) and not elected to have bladder surgery are LYING SOBs if they don't say this!

    Because I prefer 'yogging'.
  • I have G-cups...jogging hurts my girls!!
    Not to mention the two black eyes that result from jogging.

    Because it's more fun to rip down a trail on my bike :bigsmile:
  • Because every runner/jogger I know has serious knee problems by the time they're 50, no matter how many special shoes they buy or knee braces they wear. The point of exercise is to stay mobile for as long as you can, not to get less mobile.

    For me it's because I don't want to play kick-ball at the same time.:embarassed:
    Also why I don't sit down real quick either :blushing:
    Your excuse is invalid.
  • Running is not the best thing for the girls! Riding a bike is a much better workout and much safer for my back. (and the rest of the old parts...lol)

    It does go away though. I am proud to say I no longer piss my pants.

    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!

    Because I suck at it and I avoid things I suck at.
  • A good sports bra has not been designed for anyone over a B cup. You start moving like that and you have 10lbs of boob all over the place! lol

    No one ever tells us this stuff! That's it, I'm now officially terrified of having children. They'll make me fat again and ruin my body inside and out. I'm sure it's worth it buuuut I want to be sexy for awhile. D:

    I happen to have an amazing sports bra for my D's. I zumba/run/jump and these puppies don't move.

    haha it depends on how u care for your body while pregnant if you get fat again. and ruin ur body and all. and kegels and giving birth in a better position than lying on ur back can help with the bladder issues. i had 4 children vaginally and none of them gave me seriously bladder issues. i had worse issues after getting catheterized while my gallbladder was removed lol. oh and my children were 8 lbs 9 lbs and 10 lb babies lmao

    :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).

    theres not a good one for a G cup though. when i was a D or DD yea it worked but now im a G cup, i tried lane bryant and i tried a few other bras but they tear up fast and they dont hold well. im just hoping my boobs shrink as the rest of my body does. i want smaller boobs again!!!

    My youngest is almost 2. Sadly I still do.

    But I also just don't like running. Back when I used to make myself do it to stay in shape for rugby I'd sing "I hate running" in my head for at least the first 20 minutes.

    Moving Comfort makes excellent running bras for bigger chested girls. Supportive and the girls stay in place.

    This is true. I haven't had to deal with anything bigger than a D, so I wouldn't know about the larger sizes. Trust me, they shrink! It's a slow process, but it happens. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
  • 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.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with that. (except my last pregnancy I actually was sexy :) And I was very fit)
