I used to run 5mi a day, 3-5 days per week.
I did this till in my 60's.
I've had a ruined knee since I was 18 which I wrecked playing hockey and, it was further wrecked by some hacksaw maniac whio termed hisself a surgeon.
I was also a gym rat and, due to strengthening my legs with weights, my knee was able to withstand running.
RUNNING NOT jogging which is a total osteodestruction activity.
about 5 years ago, I grew asthma.
The wiz-crack drs immediately put me on prednisone.
Since I began injesting that poison, there is approx 45-50lbe more of me.
This larger me has been torture for BOTH of my knees.
Of course, I can breathe now.
I went through the quack of the month club at the local va clininc.
These local clinics are NOT the real VA.
Rather they are clinics which contract to the VA to make $$$$$$ off of us.
Well, I FINALLY got to see a real dr who didn't walk like, talk like and quacked.
He got me off of the poisonsone and onto Asmanex.
I'm breathing quite easily now and will soon go back to the gym to see how much of my fatfiled ass I can leave on the gym floor.
I doubt whether I'll ever run 5mi per day again hwever, I WILL do my best to se how far I can walk every or every other day.
As for the title of this article, it seems that these blowprah types do everything they can to ruin everything they can as long as they can suck $$$$$$$.
