Yo Run Gang,

The weather is consistent! Consistently MISERABLE! Yes its the off season, but a goal of getting out the door at a minimum of every other day should be a minimum. No mileage minimum needed, once you get out the door that part works out fine. Get out the door. Yes, I do repeat the important stuff!

Last week I mentioned shopping for value, bang for the buck, not spending on unnecessary stuff, garden statues come to mind As I packed my running garb today for my mid-day run, I noticed I always grab the same pair of CWX tights, my Peal Izumi Jacket, my Brooks mitts The point is, you dont need 10 of everything, just a couple of good pieces in each apparel category and you can run all winter. Run gear is all constructed from different variations of the same polyester fibers and good technical apparel wears like iron. Someone once asked, You paid $200 for a Gore-Tex running jacket?, my response, some people pay that much for a suit coat, just try wearing that 7 days a week and see how long it lasts. Seriously, I wear the same couple of jackets day after day, all winter long, year after year, talk about value.

Pull it on, lace em up, and you know what,
Randy Step, an obsessed and consistent runner
