This weekend will find RaceReady at the Surf City Marathon Expo in beautiful Huntington Beach, California.    

SURF CITY EXPO THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY!

 For those of you who don’t know, the Surf City Races have become quite the SuperBowl Sunday tradition!!!    This year, as in years past, the races have all SOLD-OUT!       We’re talking  20,000 runners, joggers and walkers, folks!   Sounds like a Beach Party to me!     The Expo will be in a big White Top Tent in the parking lot at the Beach….so come on by and say HELLO if you are in the area!      Expo is Friday 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm and all day Saturday 9:00 am until 5:00 pm.

It’s the beginning of February, and many areas are experiencing COLD weather!  Of course, “Cold” is all relative, but even in sunny So Cal we can tell when it’s winter!  

Stormy Weather in Southern California

Try to schedule your winter running when the sun is the warmest.    Perhaps you can run on your lunch hour when the sun feels nice and toasty.    The wind also can be a serious factor.   On a windy day, try to plan your out-and-back run so you are running into the wind for the first half of the run when you are full of energy.  Then the wind will be at your back, helping you on the homeward stretch.   And remember a proper warm-up is even more important in the winter because exposure to the cold stiffens your muscles and joints.  It’s a good idea to end your run with a slow jog or a brisk walk.  

Dressing in layers is the key to staying warm, dry and comfortable in harsh weather.     My favorite base layer is a RaceReady Ready Tech Long Sleeve…..OK, so maybe I’m biased….   If  it’s REALLY COLD where you are, nothing beats our DryLine Zip Shirt!

Courtesy of my sister-in-law, Corinne, these are pictures from our week’s vacation in Alaska!   We stayed in Anchorage with my brother Paul & Corinne for half the time, and camped in Thumb Cove off Resurrection Bay half the time.   Great Fun!   

The Great Outdoors!

We’re back into the swing of things at RaceReady, following a nice holiday spent with my family in Denver.   It was a brief trip – we were only away for 4 days, 3 nights – but it sure was fun.   My favorite part of the holiday season is spending time with family and friends!
