Exactly. Why would you want to unless you need your body for your occupation or you were in college and wanted the chicks to dig you.
At our ages, isnt it more important just to feel good and not be overweight?

When I was in my mid 20's I never ran or did any cardio. I just lifted weights and ate a ton. I got very strong and weighed as much as 185. I have always been right around 5-10. In the last 8-10 years I started running a lot and while I still lift weights, you would never know it because of what running does to your metabolism. When I am training for a race I usually run 35 to 40 miles a week, otherwise 25-30. I have consistently gone to the gym to weights, pull ups, push ups, etc. I lost so much strength since I started running, not to mention weight. I have been down to about 160 for the last 5 or so years and I eat like a horse. Probably more than I did when I was only a weightlifter. But when you run quality miles at a decent pace, your body becomes a furnace and the food that you put in your body easily gets burned. I eat a lot of bad foods too, my rule is pretty much whatever I like and crave at the time which is usually chikcen, pizza, pasta,hamburgers, cereal, and english muffins.

I'd love to be able to get stronger again, but I would have to give up a lot of my cardio and you cant replace how that makes you feel, which at my age is the most important thing.
