Biking is even better on the joints, but if you don’t have a problem with them you might still want to do some light jogging. Get good shoes and keep to unpaved paths and your joints will thank you.
One very good reason to do a little jogging is that it strengthens the bones in your legs. The repeated impacts causes micro fractures in the bones. As these heal the surfaces of these microscopic fractures are dissolved and new bone grows to fill them in. The result is stronger bones, something that becomes more important as you grow older.
So try to do some jogging if you can, but use good shoes and run where the ground is soft to save your joints. If you want to really work on your cardio then swimming or biking are good options.
Yea I know this is years late and that the OP might never see this or have any use for it, but this is the internet! No one knows how long this will be available. It could be gone tomorrow or it could still be here in 50 years. No matter what someone might be interested in the subject and find this info interesting.

I hate running, walking is good. Walking is much better on the joints.

Yes – walking is easier on the joints, and on heavy parts that have no actual joints.
