yeah... well it is part of my job, but yeah I actually enjoy running... never feel as good when I've skipped my runs...

honestly that's been one of the hardest things with recovery... 38 days home with nothing to do and I couldn't run... shit up until about the 15 day mark... I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to run again... that actually scared me.

Damn, I have a much harder time on a treadmill, in fact it downright hurts after, stopped using them a few years back and started using the eliptical machine, much better

I slow walk on a treadmill for the fat burning...and pull a sled with weight on it for the cardiovascular endurance.

Running way fucks up hips and knees. Don't have any desire to get a hip replacement at 60 from running.

your running wrong then... just like everything, when done wrong can fuck up your body, but that doesn't mean running is bad

that like saying swimming is bad... everyone drowns

did a 3.5 mile run this morning 33 and a half mins... decided to try the vibrams running (been using them but only on the beach)

I normally strike heavy on my heal so I was worried I'd made the wrong choice. actually I really didn't notice a difference comfort wise as my body kinda automatically adjusted to running in these... didn't have a sore spot or blister after the 3.5 mile run... so big thumbs up!

Which ones do you have and what kind of surface were you running on?

There is a correct technique to running, but getting fucked up knees and hips is more a function of age where the cartlidge gets worn out. Also, body weight has alot to do with it. At 210lbs, I'm not going to be running all that often if I can avoid it
