Jansport Alpine Access 49 - 3000 cu in
The Jansport Alpine Access 49 is a sweet pack for long backcountry tours. If you need a pack that carries skis, shovel, probe, extra layers and food, check out the Alpine Access. Rear panel entry allows easy access to the pack's contents while carrying skis. The Alpine Access offers either diagonal or vertical ski-carry configurations, so you can avoid getting smacked in the head or bashing your skis with your tools when the going gets steep. Dual-density Gellycomb foam makes the shoulder straps insanely cush for super comfortable carrying. The Alpine Access has a compressor panel for storing your shovel. The lid is removable and extendable, so you can even get overnight capacity out of this pack if you're a minimalist to the core. The organizer pocket boasts a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket and a keyper, while dual fabric side pockets and a hydration sleeve ensure your muscles won't shrivel up in dehydration.
$129.90
Good pack. I just received this pack and the new Airlift shoulder straps are great. They provide a cushy ride for you and all your gear. It fits all my crag gear and then some. The rear panel access is a must for ease of getting to those small pieces of gear in the bottom. For the price how could you go wrong?

Training Tips
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.

An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
