I ran for about 20 years and do not have any of those problems.  I've  
had fewer problems than some over weight people who never run (or  
walk very much)
I don't run any more since I had a bout of mono in 2001.  I am just  
again getting up to brisk walking.

Jim,
I'm at a loss to understand the running.  Why pound your bones into the
ground?  I'm not so sure this is a good thing.  I think paleo man  
didn't run
unless he HAD to.  The wear and tear on ligaments, tendons, joints,  
bones
will catch up to you.  Lifting is more advantageous for bone  
maintenance and
lipid profiles in my own experience.  Oliva, who loathes cardio.
