The North Face Bryce Mid Hiking Boot - Women's
The North Face Bryce Mid Hiking Boot ups the ante on the awesome combination of cushy comfort and solid support that made the Low a hit. With the Bryce Mid, you can expect solid grip on all kinds of trails and a comfortable, breathable feel. A TPU shank protects your feet from gnarly trail surface, and is built with notches in the forefoot for a natural flex and great trail feel. An antibacterial footbed keeps the Bryce tolerable, if not precisely sweet smelling. Dri-lex moisture wicking lining is a boon in hot conditions, and the gusseted tongue is just comfy as heck no matter what the conditions. The Bryce's Vibram sole uses X-2 heel cushioning so that hours of pounding on hard trails won't put the hurt on you so much.

Training Tips
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
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.
