I like to go jogging in the park a lot, but I've heard from some people that it's really tough on my joints, especially knees. My knees and ankles are sore after I run, but I can't think of a better activity to do for my heart, you know what I mean? Is running really so bad? Am I going to crumble into nothing someday, or can I just drink lots of milk and be fine? (link)

Running can be bad, but only if you don't take the necessary precautions. Make sure you stretch before you run, it's good for your joints and your muscles. Drink plenty of milk and take calcium supplements to keep your bones healthy. Don't run on hard surfaces such as roads or sidewalks-stick to grass or dirt. The pounding will be softer and put less pressure on your feet. Also, mkae sure you have the right shoes. The right shoes can mean the difference between knee replacement and a lifetime of running.
