2011-12-14 - Chill Out!
On the first cold days of winter you will find it easier to get out the door if you over-dress a bit. Start with a short loop where you can drop a layer once you feel out the weather. After the loop, continue your winter runs into the wind, not fun, but knowing that at anytime you can turn your back to the weather and have a more comfortable run home can give the motivation to stick it out. Yes, many days we will just want to skip the winter run... but as always, you will be happy that you ran so don't think about it, just get out the door!
Must have winter run items:
Base Layer: A wicking base layer. A close fitting layer keeps out the draft and lets your body heat push the moisture away from you.
Balaclava: It keeps the wind off your ears and neck, making a huge difference in comfort.
Mittens: Often, gloves just don't cut it, you can always take off the mittens and hold them if you get too warm.
Stop into Running Fit, they'll dress you for success!
Run warm,

February 3, 2010 - Out of Africa
Yo run gang,
Out of Africa, back to winter and back to work, yikes!
Nothing goes together like travel and running. What a great way to get your bearings and check out a new place. Yes, you need to be smart and alert in a strange place, but life without adventure they might as well throw the dirt on now.

February, yes, the dead of winter but the start of more serious training. For those of us planning on a long spring race, now is the time to start upping the mileage and running with purpose. In a few months the winter wimps will stand in awe as we step up to the line and speak with our feet!
Run tomorrow!
