If you run, you are less likely to be deader sooner than the non-running folks are likely to be., according to a new study. And, by “deader sooner,” I mean deader nower-ish….
Read it yourself and decide.
Runses or no runses. Death be a things that somtimes you no get to. Nices thing for nicer peoples, yes?*
*FitLifeSF reminds you that death is pretty much a 100% dealio, so run your shit out before it finds you! Thanks, as always to Mr. David Chambers for the use of the ‘comedic asterisk(tm)’. Dave Chambers, send me your middle initial and I will gladly add it. Your mother is the bomb-diggity Fit Woman, and she rules. Thanks.
