Exercise - Pushing the limit
One thing that surprises me the most in this country is some people’s enthusiasm to jog or run even on dire conditions. I saw a person jogging in the street today while I was going to work and the temperature here is 15 degree Fahrenheit (- 10 degree Celsius). Don’t these people understand that it is actually bad to jog in such conditions? I think that some people are so obsessed with their body shape here that they would go to any limits to keep it that way.
One thing I have noticed in common with runners is that it becomes an obsession after a few months of regular running. I don’t know why that happens. But I have personally seen a lot of runners over exerting themselves and finally getting injured. They then give it all away and end up depressed.
I think it makes no sense to over do it especially if you are not a professional athlete. What do you think?

I wish I had the motivation of a runner! Good for me (?), I only do very mild exercise and do not push my limit. I believe low impact workouts can provide similar benefits but I think running provides sure results in a shorter amount of time. Couple of my friends who are runners have knee problems now and their Doctors have advised them not to run. I heard in a radio program that running is good so long as it is done with proper shoes and good posture. I think that requires professional advice.
