Dress to Impress
I'm a big fan of new technology in fabric design. My problems with blisters on my feet was helped tremendously by giving up my 100% cotton socks for higher-tech synthetics. I love the way that fleece jackets, vests and pants are soft, warm, washable, and even somewhat water resistant. I appreciate the sweat-wicking properties of my new performance tops, both in hot weather (so I don't look and feel drenched) and in cooler weather (so I don't get that clammy feeling as I cool down after my run).
More recently, I've read about compression garments (like the ones from Skins, Under Amour and CW-X), which are supposed to provide more strength and endurance during a workout, and a significant reduction in muscle soreness afterwards. Better performance just for changing my clothes? This I've got to try!!
