Thats an interesting read, thanks for the heads up.

My best friend just cannot understand me having taken up jogging at my age and all I get is "Its not good for you". My doctor the last time he saw me said "Wow your looking really well these days"!! I rest my case - but not my butt, it doesn't get to the couch nearly as much as it used to. :P

Wow, well done those girls!! Yep, running is supposed to add between six and eight years to your lifespan. I read that in the paper the other day!
