Pixie is better than a purse!
I bought the Pixie to use for running, skiing and riding my dirt bike, however, I now use it as my purse. It holds everything you need like your cards, cell phone, Chapstick, etc just like any purse, but you have a built in water bottle. I don’t know about you but I get sick of buying water everywhere I go. I also don’t like being thirsty. Now, I have water with me everywhere I go.

Training Tips
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
