While I've stretched my fitness efforts to include other activities like swimming, biking and weight training, running remains my base fitness activity. I just have to watch my knees. I've recently written about participating in "running groups". I think "group runs" add to the health of running with stress-free conversation and bonding with other "like-minded" individuals.

I'm hoping that bicycling has the same benefits - cycling is easier on my knees. A study in the Archives of Internal Medicine a month ago confirmed longevity benefits even in people running regularly after the age of 50. Not only that, disability rates were less than in non-runners.
