Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying this super chilly Holiday season! As we're getting colder and colder temperatures, here's a quick reminder of what-to-wear...

Dress in Layers! We normally recommend three layers: 1) A base layer - such as the Running Room Baselayer 2) A thermal layer - something to add warmth to your outfit, the RR midweight long-sleeve is perfect for the colder days. In warmer days, even a t-shirt can do the trick 3) A shell - the RR reflective jacket and pant combo is a tried and true classic!
Everything should be moisture wicking. Winter is not the best time to pull out your favourite 20-year-old cotton t-shirt! All the moisture and sweat will freeze very quickly in these colder temperatures so make sure you're wearing a good technical fabric.
Listen to your mother! Always wear a toque and mitts! As you warm up, you might find that you don't need them, but carrying a pair of mitts is much better than freezing fingers.
If you are thinking of running or walking in the Hypothermic Half Marathon - sign up today! We are selling out very quickly in this capped event, so make sure you are in on time! Don't forget, this year, every participant receives a FREE toque and glove gift set with registration. Click here for more details --> http://www.events.runningroom.com/site/?raceId=4096 .

Also, for those faithful to the Asics Gel-Kayano, we have just received the new update, the Gel-Kayano 15! The stability and cushioning that you have come to expect from the Kayano with a new and improved anatomical fitting system that gives it a great, get-up-and-go feel.

Just a quick reminder that our practice session this week will be on Sunday morning at 8:30 am. While we will not be having a Wednesday night practice this week (as it falls on Christmas Eve), please feel free to drop by the store during the day - we will be open until 4pm :)

Happy Holidays!
From your Running Room crew
