Nope. Male, 6'2" and 205 pounds. I keep a reasonable weight simply because I don't eat much. I can carry a fridge up a flight of stairs without busting my back, change a car tire without ripping a bicep, and run around without dropping from a heart attack if I happen to have something to run away from. Life is too short to waste it by worrying about exercise.
Studies show that endurance athletes have a higher rate of cancer than the normal population. Sure, a more efficient cardiovascular system might make you less prone to heart disease, but it also allows cancer cells to spread faster before your immune system has a chance to tackle them. And personally, I'd rather have a heart attack than suffer from cancer.
@logik316 Endurance athletes are clearly a different group to casual runners; and I don't know where you got that nonsense about cancer spreading more quickly but in reality people who take regular aerobic exercise are less likely to suffer from virtually every illness, including mental illnesses and including cancer.
And whatever extra time you might add to your life, is all going to be spent exercising. Pretty pointless, especially if you're doing a high impact exercise like jogging which will likely destroy your knee joints eventually. No thanks.
@logik316 If you weren't too lazy to try it you'd see that it offers so much more than a longer life expectancy. It improves almost every area of life, and contrary to what you obviously think, running itself can be very enjoyable and is always very rewarding.
You don't run to live longer, you run to live better.
I use a bike and avoid driving when making local trips, so don't call me lazy. I get enough exercise in my normal daily routine, so I don't *need* to run around looking like an idiot. I've seen far too many joggers high on endorphins developing tunnel-vision and obliviously running right in front of moving cars, so whatever health benefits it may have are probably negated by the increased likelihood of you getting creamed in the middle of the street.
You will usually see him jogging down H Street, in NW DC, by the Red Roof Inn and Grand Hyatt. He has been doing this for years, and is NOT a crackhead, he is very much in shape and is always a fun guy to watch!
What's his name, who is he, and where does he work? Must be a good job!!! Oh and another thing, is this considered jaywalking? Amazing that he never get's hit1
Supposedly (as I was told anyway), he runs every day. He's got to be in some good shape. Wow. When I saw him, he was right in front of the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel.
I saw this same guy on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, around 3 p.m. and then at around 4 p.m. There were some people standing next to me getting ready to cross, at one point. I thought he was crazy. This guy next to me nearly scolds me & says he's a guy with a good job, he's been featured on NPR; so "he's not crazy." Alright. I thought it was a trip though.
I just saw the funniest thing in D.C. the other day. This seemingly normal guy starts crossing the street and halfway across, he starts yelling at a lamp post. At some point, he started yelling in his own language. It was the greatest thing I've ever seen.
I just uploaded a video of him. He was yelling and dancing and everything! It happened last week on the 4th of April, at the intersection of 14th and New York near the Hilton Garden Inn. Boy I wonder about them people in DC. I hope this isn't the image foreigners are getting of America
I saw that guy last week and have video of him doing that at the intersection of 14th and New York near the Hilton Garden Inn! He is on my YouTube videos right now. Check it out.
I need to get in contact with him. I'd love to interview him. I see him often, as i work in chinatown, but i can never get to him in time to get his info. Any idea how to contact him or what his name is?
I hate joggers. Anybody who runs around just for fun has obviously got a screw loose to begin with.

@logik316 That is a ridiculously dumb statement, all that you said doesn't have anything to do with cardio.

@logik316 Seriously, how many runners have you seen killed in a car accident because of the influence of endorphins?

@serendipityify
No idea, but judging from what I've seen at least a few would've gotten run over if it wasn't for the driver's good reflexes.

What the hell would I need cardio for? I don't routinely chase people around and I don't run from a fight.
