Oakley Visor with Metal Icon
The Oakley Visor is great for keeping the sun out of your eyes, and for giving you that cool, laid back air that only comes with the right visor. A velcro strap in the back fits the hat to your head, and a metal Oakley icon is emblazoned on the front.
$17.95 
Perfect for the summer heat
I use this for sun protection as I train for an upcoming marathon in the summer heat. Very cushy sweatband keeps sweat out of my eyes, the sun off my face, and my head keeps cool.

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.
