 @50by25 They aren't the most ideal choice, primarily because of the shape of the sole. Even though the cushion is worn down, the soles are typically higher in the back and lower in the front, with a curved toe. And the soles are also softer than what you would find on the shoes mentioned above. 

 

That being said, if that's all you have in your closet, then don't by any means skip the gym for the sake of not having the right shoes. 

 

I think this might be a struggle that a lot of runners/endurance athletes go through-- that is weight lifters don't think about. If you invest a good amount of time into endurance training, then you will invest a good amount of money into the proper shoe. 

 

The best trade off in these situations might be the Minimalist shoe, which works well for both endurance and weight lifting.

This is great! I have several clients who are endurance runners and they are always pleasantly surprised at how much greater their stamina becomes through strength training. When they work with me I usually cut their cardio training by 1/2-3/4 and ramp up their strength training. They come out of the race feeling on top of the world, recover faster, and break their PRs.

Summer is my favorite time of year because of all the stone fruits available. This looks fabulous and dangerous all at once. I can easily eat this whole thing in one sitting. :)

This is a great bit of info. My dad suffers from gout and cherries are always his go-to item to help relieve symptoms, too.

Great tips! I have many clients who are former runners. They stopped running because they suffer from all sorts of ailments like pelvic stress fractures and bad knees. I provide strength rehab exercises and they work wonders. Building up strength around those joints is a great way to help resolve and prevent some of these issues.

For a gal whose been madly in love with the same man for 14 years, this is always an interesting topic. I recently read that single straight women are now outnumbering single straight men in the US. Many women though they dream of being married opt to start a career and a family without the other half of the equation. It's not that single women are hopeless... they just have slim pickin's. When this happened in our frontier days, men just shipped in women from other parts of the world. I don't see that movement happening again now that the tables have turned.
