Over the holidays, I got some new winter weather gear. I recently reviewed an Asics jacket that is super warm. I also got some tights, the Asics Liteshow Thermal Tight. I've got two pair of these tights, one has white stitching and one has pink. The stitching is reflective which was one of the big selling points for me besides the thermal qualities. Interestingly, the white pair does not have a drawstring but the pink ones do. Perhaps one of them was last year's model. I like a good drawstring to keep my drawers from creeping at all leaving either my belly or back open to some cold air during a run. I am a little tall in the body, so I like my tights to be up higher on my waist and first layer of top tucked in. We've shared on the blog before that Stephanie and I can both sew, thanks to our Mom, so I may just add a drawstring to my tights.
I am still glued to the Olympics whenever I can find a few minutes (or hours). I love the heart the athletes show and hearing their stories. It seems that quite a few of the winter sports take almost as much guts as natural talent. They all require a lot of work, too. If bobsled sounds too tame, there is luge. Then try doubles luge...two guys on a little sled. Not adventurous enough, try skeleton! Why would anyone want to slide headfirst down an icy track? For a medal, of course! I love the medal ceremonies and the national anthems. After The Star Spangled Banner, O Canada is my next favorite since the Canadians are our nearest neighbors to Minnesota. Tomorrow we are headed out on a twelve mile run. That will be a good challenge after putting in a couple of speed workouts this week. My hope is that we are nearly done with sub zero temps and windchills for this winter. Warmer weather makes planning runs so much easier. Happy running--Missee
