Sage Yoga Hip Opener

I am going to return the shoe I bought last week, I think I need a bigger size to accommodate my left foot and I really need it since my other shoe is still wet from yesterday.

I had an intersting conversation with one of the ladies while running yesterday, I found out that she lived around the Rocky River area which is where I have been going for a free Crossfit workout on Saturdays, the workout is about 30mins and well organized, I mentioned the workout to her since it is free but she indicated that she only runs not strength training since she doesn't need and can't fit it in anyway. I can understand elite runners limiting weight training but I do not understand regular runners skipping, I view lots of runner's blog to see how they are training since I am new at this and notice that a lot of them run long miles but with no cross taining or strength training, even in offf times when they have no plan race. How do you grow as a runner or prevent injury, if all you do is just run and not give the body a break via cross training and strength training.
