Great Gear X-mas Haul

My Runner's Stocking

My wife is the greatest!  She really took care of me for the holiday.  I may have pointed her in the right direction but, she really came through.  She even had her parents get me gifts from my favorite running store, Charm City Run.  I will start with the Stocking: Six tubes of Nuun (I am on the 2010 Nuun team), One bottle of Sport Wash, Two packs of Clif Shot Bloks, and one chocolate Dove bar.  Ok, so the Dove bar doesn’t exactly fit the category, I will justify it under the heading of motivation.  On to the main event.  First I opened the Saucony Ulti-Mitt Vizi-Pro gloves.  These are great gloves with a lot of features, safety orange day glow color, large areas of reflective material, LED blinking light, retractable mittens that expose gloves, and retratable thumbs and right index finger on the gloves for working iPods and iPhones. Then I opened a package with a pair of Brooks Wanganui Pants “Advanced protection from wind and rain.”  These are some serious winter running pants, with wind and rain resistant materials.  They will be reserved for the coldest rainiest days of the year.  You gotta check them out.  Although I already have a pair of Under Armour compression tights, it was time for another pair and that’s just what I got.  I have tried Asics, Nike, and Craft tights, the simplicity of the Under Armour Cold Gear tights makes them a favorite.  No zipper on the ankle cuff is a good thing and they keep you warm on cold witer days.  Finally I was given a North Face M TKA 100 Glacier 1 Fleece 1/4 zip pull over.  This fleece is just cozy softness.  It will be great for cold days with no rain.  As you can see I was spoiled.  There is still room for new gear, my birthday is only a couple weeks away! – Believe in the run.
