FLYBIRD adjustable dumbbells
(2nd pick)
Since the Bowflex 552s are hard to come by, my second recommended adjustable weight set would by the FLYBIRDs. These match in quality to the Bowflex, however your limited to 25 pounds versus 52 pounds and you have to buy two (2) dumbbells. This might be what you're looking for if you don't need over 25 pounds per weight.
Jaybird Vistas
These are hands down the best Bluetooth ear pods I've ever owned. The battery life is amazing (60% charge remaining after a 3 hour run). I've ran with these things through 2 hours of moderate rain and sweated profusely. These are music heavy ear bud beasts. These don't move around even after my strength training sessions, cross training, or long runs. I also like the flexibility of only having to put it one ear pod so that I can have the other ear listening for surrounding dangers while running. A must have for runners who listen to music, podcasts, etc. while running!
Brooks - Ghost 12
I used to run in Nike FreeRN for years but I recently switched to Brooks shoes. Specifically, the Ghost series are for larger runners with are a super cushioned sole. I can't begin to tell you how comfortable these shoes are especially on long runs. Try them out! They are superior running shoes! Road Runner Sports offers 90 day returns on USED and NEW shoes if you're a VIP Member! Are you wondering when to retire running shoes? If the shoe doesn't work out for you - return it!

Trigger Point Foam Massage Ball
I use this massage ball all the time on tight spots in my legs and upper gluteus maximus. It's easily transportable so I can take it with me when I travel. Check out my detailed review here.
Huma Energy Gels
These are my favorite energy gels. They provide a good boost of energy on your long runs plus they are as close to natural ingredients as you can get in an energy gel. They are also gluten free and vegan friendly. Check out my complete Energy Gel Review Here.
Compression Socks (Mens/Womens)
I ran my 12th half marathon with compression socks. The compression socks actually did help my calf muscles feel less sore. I wore them for the remainder of the day.
