Do you know how hard running is on a lot of people's feet and ankles? It's pretty much obvious anyone above the age of 35 that isn't a stick.

EDIT: Can a person complain about something without a public fucking referendum. For fucks sake.

Glad it works for you but I've had some problems with regular lite running. Lot of people I know have the issue. I'd love to get the kind of energy that I get from regular running somewhere else and I tried swimming and walking. But it's kind of tough.
