The best thing to wear is a shirt and shorts with wicking properties, running/walking shoes (they are the same), a well ventalated hat is a good thing. There are other things to consider like temperature and how to cover if it is raining. The best specialty running and walking store in town is the Running-Zone. You can find lots of cool things there.
Cross Training is anything other than running/walking. Ride your bike, yoga, swimming anything that has low or no impact stress. If you do strength training with weights, ALWAYS use low weights and high reps.

The correct and LEGAL way for a pedestrian walker or runner is to head AGAINST traffic. You want to be looking at oncoming traffic. This is the law. You can tell if the oncoming traffic sees you and if necessary be prepared to get out of the way. Be cautious around blind curves, it is best to go with traffic at this point because neither you nor the oncoming traffic can see you around a curve. Once back on a straight stretch head against traffic. This is different for bicycles. Bicycles are consider TRAFFIC, and they are bound by all the laws governing moving vehicles. STAY SAFE!
