Running is stupid

[HarleyD]

My next door neighbor would run six miles a day. One day he didn't come back. Had a massive coronary and died at 56 years.

I know this experience is anecdotal but I also have a number of friends in their late 60s, early 70s who loved to run in their earlier years who now are having knee and hip replacements. Exercise is important but one has to temper it with the stress and strain on the body. Like anything, excess is not a good thing.
