I used to love running, especially in spring along a course we have here that follows the beaches, and in winter on the indoor track at the local Y. The track has huge windows along one side that lets in the natural light. Alas, no matter what kind of shoe I used, I still had big problems with my knees, shins, and ankles. Started using the eliptical running machine at the Y instead. Exact same running motion with Zero impact.
Purchased our own eliptical this past Xmas. One o' the best toys we've ever bought ourselves.
Also picked up an Ab Lounge for good measure. Crunches have never been so efficient.
