Funny you should say that. My husband just told me tonight he is done running due to the beating his joints are taking.

"joints"

I've known a number of people who stated running programs and had to stop because of joint problems. I think the problem seems to afflict males who view walking as not as macho as running. Unfortunately many of them choose to run on city sidewalks or streets which aggravates the pounding their joints take. I walk for exercise and avoid the pounding.
