What Are the Negative Effects of Running?

Question by Sarah: What are the negative effects of running?
What are the negative effects, over a long-term period of time, of being a runner? I am aware of all the positive effects, and that is why I love being a runner, but what about negative things? Can running on the pavement be too harsh on your joints and spine over a long period of time?
