Hardly an excuse not to run. There's more dropping dead through gluttony and laziness. I've loved running ever since taking up long distance as a teenager. I gave it up when married for the obvious reason of too much time training. I now have that luxury again and I'm loving it more than ever. I agree. .it would be wise to get checked out to see if you're fit enough but, the doctor will put the onus on you to decide on whether you run or not. The doc's examination will be basic.
