Nice WARM fleece jacket
A good jacket. It does have metal zippers that extend from the cuff to the hand which I find to be uncomfortable but by rolling up the end of the sleeve a little, it's better. The green color is darker than what's shown on Backcountry's website. It's more evergreen than spruce. I tend to wear it over a fleece shirt for quick errands or dog walks when the temp is in the 30's. It's a little stiff. More of a nice urban jacket. Overall, I like it, glad it's on the rack, but don't love it.

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.
