Top 10 Reasons to Jog After Age 40


I'm too out of shape. My knees are too banged up. It's too hot outside. It's boring. Blah, blah, blah. Yes, there are plenty of excuses NOT to go jogging, but you should do it anyway. That's especially true as you get older. So with a nod to the newly retired David Letterman, here are my personal top 10 reasons to keep jogging past the age of 40. And yes, I'm past it. There's no need to spread that fact around though.


10. Justification for drinking that chocolate milkshake over the weekend

 9. With three young children, any excuse to get out of the house is a good one.

 8. Even pasty white boys need some sunshine every once in a while.

 7. In the long run, running shoes are much cheaper than bypass surgery.

 6. Unlike sitting on your ass watching TV, EVERYTHING you see outside is in HD.

 5. Hugh Jackman is actually older than me (see picture above).

 4. Insulin needles look none too pleasant.

 3. Endorphins. Not nearly as good as an orgasm, but still not too shabby.

 2. There's still a slim chance to become America’s next sex symbol.

 1. If it ever comes down to the two of us running away from zombies, they're so going to eat you            first.
