Watchful Eye Design O.P.Sak Barrier Bag
If you're camping in bear country, you'd better keep your food in the Watchful Eye Designs O.P. Sak Barrier Bag. While other bear boxes and bags just keep animals from getting to your food, critters big and small can still smell it and can still end up wreaking havoc on your camp. The O.P. (Odor Proof) Sak lets no yummy bacon or freeze-dried spinach aroma escape at all. During testing, bears would walk right past O.P. Saks loaded with food without so much as a glance. These bags are also waterproof and prevent condensation so your food won't get stale or moldy. O.P. Saks come in sizes small enough for a couple candy bars and big enough for a few days of food.

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.
