Well, if you chose to, say, exercise by chasing down endangered animals on foot an then wrestling them to death... that would probably be an immoral choice. And of course perhaps choosing to spend my time (a lot of it) and money (no-negligable amounts) on my running hobby rather than, say, donating to an effective charity is also an immoral choice. I'm sure morality is not totally separate from these choices.

I agree though that the consequences of my actions *to my own health* do not have a moral dimension; it's my health and I think I should be able to choose how I risk/enhance it. I don't think I'm "morally obligated" to live as long and as healthily as possible (and even if I *was* then "as possible" is a different value for different people and different people find different things health-increasing).

I think running is fun. If I didn't I wouldn't do it. If other people think it's not fun then *more race entry places for me* is IMO a much better way to look at it :)
