I woke up this morning and headed out on cold Sunday run. Clear skies though, the mountain tops were all lit up, it was pretty great. We've had a crazy cold snap going on for the past week and I have been living in my Manero Jacket. So in my head I've been thinking that ya, this jacket is my choice for "gear of the year." It's sort of been like wearing my sleeping bag around 24/7. I've been teaching outdoor classes in it, doing my warm-ups and cool-downs and essentially wearing it everyplace I go. It makes me smile, just as a good piece of gear should!
Next, I'm ramping up again with training miles and preparing for the launch of the new training facility. Days are super busy as I try to jam pack it all in, there is no time to be sick (which I rarely am) and I think though, that it is actually my training that keeps me sane. I've started to add the following to my daily diet just to keep up with the demands of being a busy female athlete and always on the go:
- Floradix Formula (liquid iron + vitamins)
- Salus - Calcium + Magnesium
Both of these are available at most health food stores (for Squamish folks head to Health Food Haven) or online through Flora. Being that they are in liquid form, the body can absorb them fast.
Keep Warm, Keep Healthy, Adventure Onwards.......
