Granite Gear kitchen sink
Well, some may think that including a kitchen sink in a backpack is ridiculous. For me, I am willing to sacrifice some weight in my pack for the sake of convenience. And, to be able to easily clean my dishes after cooking dinner, breakfast, is quite nice. Now, to the point. Granite Gear, as usual, did a really nice job in creating a light, watertight, nylon backpacking sink. I love it. And, true to their word, the nylon dries fairly quickly after use.

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
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.
