I love the way running makes me feel. I took up running again after a break of nearly 30 years and even though I am still a fat old grandmother, I feel soooo healthy. I have been running for 2 years now.
I don't run very far - my usual morning exercise is a 3.5km walk which may or may not include about 3 lots of running for a few hundred metres then walking to get my breath back then running again. Mostly I just walk.
My running shoes are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought, but way worth it. I didn't really believe the guy in the shop when he told me that if I bought good shoes my hips wouldn't hurt after running (have had sore hips since childhood)- actually I was only buying the shoes for walking but he said I they were for running too. So I gave running a go and was stunned to find that the more I ran the LESS pain I had in my hips. Weird. I cannot explain that.

Good for you ! You don't have to be good at sport to enjoy sports
When I was still living at home, I always met this 70year old jogger when I went out to run. We started talking after a while, and he told me how running actually kept him healthy and strong. He couldn't really run like he used to because of his bad knees, but he still went out every day for a walk and short run. I really admired him for being so active at that age.
