So if I achieve a healthy BMI, (perhaps u don't even think i will get that far), but if i do, your suggesting that I will be unable to sustain 1 hour run everyday over the long term correct?

Yes, your knees, ankles and feet will be slowly injured. Twisted ankles suck, runner's knee sucks, deteriorating cartilage in the knee sucks, etc. Your joints need rest, or else the weakest links in the chain never get to recuperate, fail, and cause injury. You should definitely mix it up somehow, and have a rest day or lower volume day. Perhaps go for a shorter jog (1o minutes) if you feel like a complete rest day will sidetrack you.
