People who say that are either jealous or just recycling what they have heard. Running and Swimming in my opinion are they best individual sports in the world. I know cycling is fantastic but I don't know anything about it so I can't comment. Hey, I'm 38 and I still ride BMX on a dirt track. I'm crazy anyway.

yeah but how many of the three came out with running shoes?

i love this one:

there are more old drunks than old doctors

I don't get how people can say something like exercise is bad for you when they, themselves, haven't experienced it. Sure, if you're just doing it for simple health benefits it could be better to walk. But, if you're doing it for more than just that then heck theres nothing against it. Either way, as long as your body is in good enough shape to handle the stress and it makes you happy, I'd say go for it.

Go Hokies!!

What if the Hokie Pokie really IS what it's all about??

I haven't had to deal with people saying "running is bad for you" but whenever I'm at my schools physical trainers room (which is every day, tight muscles u kno) I have to deal with the meat head football players saying "how do you get injured by just running?!" Running around them practicing for an hour and a half got them to stop asking.
