Salomon Escape 7 Boot - Men's
The Salomon Escape 7 combines an SNS boot system with a grippy, rubber like outsole so you can hop off the sticks and walk around without feeling like a cast member of Ice-Capades. The Escape 7 is the new version of the Escape D7. Sometimes there isn't anyone ripping up the track behind you. Sometimes there's no hurry to get to point B, and you can stop to scramble up the rocky snow to point C. This beefy boot gives you the best of both worlds—from comfortable performance while skiing to walking support when you're not. The Escape 7's heel is reinforced inside and out to maximize your support and control, and the gaiter hooks will keep your gaiters off your knees and over your boots where they belong. Thinsulate lining will keep your feet warm while you ski and scramble around the backcountry.
$99.90 
I love these boots.
I went with the Escape because I wear a ladies wide and I wanted the extra width. They fit perfect, with good ankle support. They are warm, dry and comfortable, what more can you ask for.

Training Tips
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.
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.
