The North Face Mountain Jacket - Boys'
The North Face Mountain Jacket is a bomber shell for ripping up the slopes. Made from HyVent fabric, the Mountain Jacket is waterproof, fully seam-taped and breathable. For comfort, the cuffs are adjustable, and the chinguard is lined with soft brushed material so it won't chafe. For cold days, the Mountain Jacket features zip-in integration so that most of The North Face's fleeces and insulated coats will zip in to create a single storm ready jacket. Whatever the mountain weather report says, The North Face Mountain Jacket is ready for it.
$99.95 
Great Jacket
My son loves this jacket. We went skiing on a pretty cold day and the other kids in his ski class looked so uncomfortable in their bulky jackets. My son was very warm and able to move around well. I would recommend this to anyone!

Training Tips
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.
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.
