Since I know you are all too busy with training to read the whole thing, here's the Clif's Notes version:

  1. No evidence that [running] causes long-term harm or actually leads to heart attacks
  2. No evidence of accelerated rates of osteoarthritis among long-distance runners
  3. Running and other vigorous exercise in middle age is associated with a longer life
    But . . .
  4. White marathon runners had more abnormal moles and lesions than nonrunners

I say screw it either way! If by doing what we're doing will cause me pain in my latter years, I'm foolish enough to say it's worth it now. The pain of foregoing this stuff now would most certainly exceed the pain of sore knees and an ache back later. B-sides, how many of our parents have knee or back problems and the only running they did was after us when we were little kids!

Weary is the path that does not challenge.
